Use Strong's responsibly

Strong's is an index and starting point, not the final meaning of a word. Do not build doctrine from a gloss, root, or number. Test meaning by sentence, grammar, authorial usage, context, and the passage argument.

שׂוֺרָה Isa 28:5 probably dittograph for following שְׂעֹרָה (Koppe We Che and others; ᵐ5 ᵑ6 omitted); > ᵑ9 Ges Di and others in rows (adverb acc; but Late Hebrew שׁוּרָה, Arabic [untranscribed source text 5232], LagGGN 1889, 298; compare VogelstLandwirthsch. 41 who favours ׳ שׁ in Isaiah. More plausible would be some grain, as שורה Zinjirli Inscription, Lzb374 SachauPanammu 23).
