בָּשַׂר not used in Kal; Arab. بَشِرَ to be joyful, cheerful, especially in receiving glad tidings; Med. A. and Conj. II. to gladden with good tidings, with an acc. of person and ب of thing. The primary sense appears to be that of beauty, whence بَشِيرُ fair, beautiful, since a face is made more beautiful by joy and cheerfulness (see טוֹב good, fair, joyful); and, on the contrary, the face of a cross and angry person is disfigured; hence بَشَرُ, بَشَرَةُ the external skin of man, בָּשָׂר flesh, in which a person’s beauty is perceived.
Piel בִּשַּׂר
(1) to make any one cheerful with glad tidings, to bear glad tidings, to announce (glad tidings) to any one; with an acc. of pers. 2 Samuel 18:19, אָרוּצָה־נָּא אֲבַשְּׂרָה אֶת־הַמֶּלֶךְ כִּי וגו׳ “let me run and announce to the king what,” etc.; Psal. 68:12. הַמְבַשְּׂרוֹת צָבָא רַב “(women) announcing (victory) to a great host;” 1 Samuel 31:9; Isaiah 40:9 absol. 2 Samuel 4:10, הָיָה כִמְבַשֵּׂר בְּעֵינָיו “he supposed that he brought glad tidings;” also followed by an acc. of the thing announced, Isaiah 60:6; Psalms 40:10. Part. מְבַשֵּׂר a messenger of good news, Isaiah 40:9 especially of peace, Isaiah 52:7 of victory, 1 Samuel 31:9 Psal. 68:12.
(2) It is more rarely used of any messenger, 2 Samuel 18:20, 26 2 Samuel 18:26 and even one unpleasant, 1 Samuel 4:17 hence there is twice fully said, בִּשֵּׂר טוֹב 1 Kings 1:42; Isaiah 52:7.
