Strong's Lexicon yatsab: To stand, to set, to place oneself, to present oneself Original Word: יָצַב Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2476 (histemi): To stand, to set, to place - G4739 (steko): To stand firm, to persevere Usage: The Hebrew verb "yatsab" primarily means to stand or to set oneself in a position. It conveys the idea of taking a firm stance, being established, or presenting oneself in readiness or determination. This term is often used in contexts where individuals are called to stand firm, either physically or metaphorically, in the face of challenges or in service to God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, standing was often associated with readiness, respect, and attentiveness. For example, standing before a king or in a court setting indicated readiness to serve or to receive instructions. In a military context, standing firm was crucial for defense and maintaining one's position in battle. The concept of standing also had spiritual implications, as it often related to one's posture before God, symbolizing faithfulness, obedience, and readiness to act according to divine will.
