Strong's Lexicon megerah: Saw Original Word: מְגֵרָה Word Origin: Derived from the root verb גָּרַר (garar), meaning "to drag" or "to saw." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "megerah" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as the concept of a saw is more culturally and contextually specific to Hebrew texts. However, tools and instruments are mentioned in the New Testament, reflecting similar themes of craftsmanship and labor. Usage: The Hebrew word "megerah" refers to a tool used for cutting, specifically a saw. In the context of the Bible, it is used to describe an instrument for woodworking or cutting materials. The term is used in a literal sense to denote a physical tool. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, woodworking was a common trade, and tools like the saw were essential for constructing buildings, crafting furniture, and creating various wooden implements. The saw, as a tool, symbolizes craftsmanship and the ability to shape and form materials for practical and artistic purposes. The use of a saw would have been familiar to the Israelites, reflecting the agrarian and artisan culture of the time.
