Strong's Lexicon ezer: Help, Helper, Support Original Word: עֵזֶר Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: ezer Pronunciation: AY-zer Phonetic Spelling: (ay'-zer) Definition: Help, Helper, Support Meaning: aid Word Origin: Derived from the root עָזַר (azar), meaning "to help" or "to support." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G998 (boētheia): Help, aid - G3875 (paraklētos): Helper, advocate, comforter Usage: The Hebrew word "ezer" is used in the Bible to denote assistance, support, or help. It often refers to divine assistance from God, but it can also describe human help. The term conveys a sense of strength and support, rather than subordination or inferiority. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of "ezer" was significant in understanding relationships, both divine and human. The term is famously used in Genesis 2:18, where God declares that it is not good for man to be alone and decides to make a "helper" suitable for him. This usage underscores the complementary partnership between man and woman, rather than implying a hierarchy. In the broader biblical context, "ezer" often describes God's providential care and intervention on behalf of His people, highlighting His role as a reliable and powerful helper.
