Ezer
(pronounced with a long a as in razor) is a Hebrew military word
meaning strong helper. Ezer
is used in the Bible most often for God as Israel's helper in time of
need. God calls the woman "ezer"
when he creates her to join the man in battling the Enemy and spreading
God's gracious kingdom throughout the earth. The ezer is a warrior for
God's good purposes in the world.
"The
Lord God
said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper [ezer]
suitable for him."
—Genesis 2:18
