Berean Strong's Lexicon yasad: To establish, to found, to lay a foundation Original Word: יָסַד Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2310 (themelios): Foundation, used in the New Testament to describe the foundation of a building or metaphorically for the foundation of faith or doctrine. - G2602 (katabole): Foundation, often used in the context of the foundation of the world. Usage: The Hebrew verb "yasad" primarily means to establish or to lay a foundation. It is often used in the context of construction, such as laying the foundation of a building or city. The term can also be used metaphorically to describe the establishment of something more abstract, such as a covenant or a principle. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of laying a foundation was crucial for both physical and spiritual structures. The foundation of a building was essential for its stability and longevity, reflecting the importance of a solid beginning. Similarly, the foundation of a covenant or law was vital for the community's spiritual and social order. The use of "yasad" in the Hebrew Bible often underscores the importance of beginnings and the care needed to ensure that what is built—whether physical or spiritual—will endure.
