Lexicon :: Strong's H8328 - šereš

“From Ephraim ^H669 those whose root ^H8328 is in Amalek ^H6002 came down,

Following ^H310 you, Benjamin ^H1144, with your peoples ^H5971;

From Machir ^H4353 commanders ^H2710 came ^H3381 down ^H3381,

And from Zebulun ^H2074 those who wield ^H4900 the staff ^H7626 of [fn]office ^H5608.

“His roots ^H8328 wrap ^H5440 around ^H5440 a rock ^H1530 pile ^H1530,

He [fn]grasps ^H270 a house ^H1004 of stones ^H68.

“You put ^H7760 my feet ^H7272 in the stocks ^H5465

And watch ^H8104 all ^H3605 my paths ^H734;

You [fn]set ^H2707 a ^H2707 limit ^H2707 for the soles ^H8328 of my feet ^H7272,

“Though ^H518 its roots ^H8328 grow ^H2204 old ^H2204 in the ground ^H776,

And its stump ^H1503 dies ^H4191 in the dry ^H6083 soil ^H6083,

“His roots ^H8328 are dried ^H3001 below ^H4480 H8478,

And his branch ^H7105 withers ^H4448 above ^H4480 H4605.

“If ^H3588 you say ^H559, ‘How ^H4100 shall we persecute ^H7291 him?’

And ‘[fn]What pretext ^H8328 for a case ^H1697 against him can we find ^H4672?’

“He puts ^H7971 his hand ^H3027 on the flint ^H2496;

He overturns ^H2015 the mountains ^H2022 at the [fn]base ^H8328.

‘My root ^H8328 is spread ^H6605 out ^H6605 to the waters ^H4325,

And dew ^H2919 lies ^H3885 on my branch ^H7105 all ^H3885 night ^H3885.

Who pluck ^H6998 saltweed ^H4408 by the bushes ^H7880,

And whose food ^H3899 is the root ^H8328 of the broom ^H7574 shrub ^H7574.

“Behold ^H2005, He spreads ^H6566 His [fn]lightning ^H216 about ^H5921 Him,

And He covers ^H3680 the depths ^H8328 of the sea ^H3220.

You cleared ^H6437 the ground before ^H6440 it,

And it took ^H8327 deep ^H8328 root ^H8328 and filled ^H4390 the land ^H776.

A person ^H120 will not be established ^H3559 by wickedness ^H7562,

But the root ^H8328 of the righteous ^H6662 will not be moved ^H4131.

Therefore ^H3651, as a tongue ^H3956 of fire ^H784 consumes ^H398 stubble ^H7179,

And dry ^H2842 grass ^H2842 collapses ^H7503 in the flame ^H3852,

So their root ^H8328 will become ^H1961 like rot ^H4716, and their blossom ^H6525 [fn]blow ^H5927 away ^H5927 like dust ^H80;

For they have rejected ^H3988 the Law ^H8451 of the LORD ^H3068 of armies ^H6635,

And discarded ^H5006 the word ^H565 of the Holy ^H6918 One ^H6918 of Israel ^H3478.

Then a shoot ^H2415 will spring ^H3318 from the stem ^H1503 of Jesse ^H3448,

And a Branch ^H5342 from his roots ^H8328 will bear ^H6509 fruit ^H6509.

“Do not rejoice ^H8055, Philistia ^H6429, all ^H3605 of you,

Because ^H3588 the rod ^H7626 that struck ^H5221 you is broken ^H7665;

For from the serpent’s ^H5175 root ^H8328 a viper ^H6848 will come ^H3318 out ^H3318,

And its fruit ^H6529 will be a winged ^H5774 serpent ^H8314.

For He grew ^H5927 up ^H5927 before ^H6440 Him like a tender ^H3126 [fn]shoot ^H3126,

And like a root ^H8328 out of dry ^H6723 ground ^H776;

He has no ^H3808 stately form ^H8389 or majesty ^H1926

That we would look ^H7200 at Him,

Nor ^H3808 an appearance ^H4758 that we would take ^H2530 pleasure ^H2530 in Him.

“For he will be like a tree ^H6086 planted ^H8362 by the water ^H4325

That extends ^H7971 its roots ^H8328 by a stream ^H3105,

And does not fear ^H3372 when ^H3588 the heat ^H2527 comes ^H935;

But its leaves ^H5929 will be green ^H7488,

And it will not be anxious ^H1672 in a year ^H8141 of drought ^H1226,

Nor ^H3808 cease ^H4185 to yield ^H6213 fruit ^H6529.

‘So it was ^H3302 beautiful ^H3302 in its greatness ^H1433, in the length ^H753 of its branches ^H1808;

For its [fn]roots ^H8328 extended ^H1961 to many ^H7227 waters ^H4325.

Ephraim ^H669 is stricken ^H5221, their root ^H8328 is dried ^H3001 up ^H3001,

They will produce ^H6213 no ^H1097 fruit ^H6529.

Even ^H1571 though ^H3588 they give ^H3205 birth ^H3205 to children,

I will put ^H4191 to ^H4191 death ^H4191 the precious ^H4261 ones ^H4261 of their womb ^H990.

I will be like the dew ^H2919 to Israel ^H3478;

He will blossom ^H6524 like the lily ^H7799,

And he will [fn]take ^H5221 root ^H8328 like the cedars of Lebanon ^H3844.

“Yet it was I who destroyed ^H8045 the Amorite ^H567 before ^H4480 H6440 them,

[fn]Though his height ^H1363 was like the height ^H1363 of cedars ^H730

And he was as strong ^H2634 as the oaks ^H437;

I also destroyed ^H8045 his fruit ^H6529 above ^H4480 H4605 and his roots ^H8328 below ^H4480 H8478.

“[fn]For behold ^H2009, the day ^H3117 is coming ^H935, burning ^H1197 like a furnace ^H8574; and all ^H3605 the arrogant ^H2086 and every ^H3605 evildoer ^H6213 H7564 will be chaff ^H7179; and the day ^H3117 that is coming ^H935 will set ^H3857 them ablaze ^H3857,” says ^H559 the LORD ^H3068 of armies ^H6635, “so ^H834 that ^H834 it will leave ^H5800 them neither ^H3808 root ^H8328 nor ^H3808 branches ^H6057.
