H1319
Exegetical Meaning
The verb basar means to bring good news, to announce glad tidings. It is the verbal root behind the Servant's mission in Isaiah 40:9 ('O Zion, herald of good tidings') and 52:7 ('How beautiful the feet of him who brings good news'). Paul quotes Isaiah 52:7 directly in Romans 10:15, making basar the Hebrew antecedent of the NT euangelion (good news / gospel). The connection between the Isaianic herald and the apostolic proclamation of Christ is explicit and foundational.
