This term is used in the New Testament to describe various forms of Christian service, including the work of deacons and the ministry of the apostles.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "sheruth" refers to the act of service or ministry, often in a religious or temple context. It denotes the duties performed by the Levites and priests in the tabernacle or temple, emphasizing the sacred nature of their work. The word underscores the concept of serving God and His people as a form of worship and dedication.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, the concept of service was deeply embedded in the religious and social fabric. The Levites were set apart for the service of the tabernacle, and later the temple, performing various duties that included maintaining the sacred space, assisting in sacrifices, and leading worship. This service was not merely a job but a divine calling, reflecting the Israelites' covenant relationship with God. The idea of service extended beyond the temple, influencing the broader community's understanding of duty and devotion.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>another form of <a href="/hebrew/8281.htm">sharah</a>, q.v.<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>remnant <p>From <a href="/hebrew/8281.htm">sharah</a> abbreviated; freedom -- remnant. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/8281.htm">sharah</a> <div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><a href="/hebrew/serug_8286.htm">śə·rūḡ — 5 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/vesharuchen_8287.htm">wə·šā·rū·ḥen — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/seroch_8288.htm">śə·rō·wḵ- — 2 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/bashsharon_8289.htm">baš·šā·rō·wn — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/hashsharon_8289.htm">haš·šā·rō·wn — 3 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/lashsharon_8289.htm">laš·šā·rō·wn — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/sharon_8289.htm">šā·rō·wn — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/vehashsharon_8289.htm">wə·haš·šā·rō·wn — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/hashsharoni_8290.htm">haš·šā·rō·w·nî — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/serukkeiha_8291.htm">śə·rūq·qe·hā — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/sarach_8294.htm">śā·raḥ — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/veserach_8294.htm">wə·śe·raḥ — 2 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/sarot_8295.htm">śā·rō·wṭ — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/yisretu_8295.htm">yiś·rə·ṭū — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/yissaretu_8295.htm">yiś·śā·rê·ṭū — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/saratet_8296.htm">śā·rā·ṭeṯ — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/veseret_8296.htm">wə·śe·reṭ — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/sarai_8297.htm">śā·rāy — 16 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/vesarai_8297.htm">wə·śā·ray — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/sharai_8298.htm">šā·rāy — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/8292.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="8292"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="8292" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/8294.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="8294"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="8294" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
