It can also imply obstinacy or stubbornness, particularly in a negative context. The term is used to describe a steadfast or unyielding nature, whether in a positive sense of being resolute or in a negative sense of being stubborn.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, strength and firmness were highly valued traits, often associated with leadership and moral integrity. However, obstinacy was viewed negatively, as it could lead to rebellion against God or authority. The dual nature of "sharar" reflects the balance between being resolute in faith and being open to divine guidance.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>see <a href="/hebrew/7796b.htm">shorer</a>.<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">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">שׁוֺרֵר</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> (insidious) <font size="+1"><b>watcher</b></font>, (properly <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Po`l.</b></font> <em>Participle</em>, <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">מְ</font> omitted, Ges<sup>§ 52s</sup>);
