These Greek terms reflect various aspects of standing, positioning, and establishing, paralleling the Hebrew concept of יָצַב in different contexts within the New Testament.

Usage: The verb יָצַב (yatsab) is used in various contexts in the Hebrew Bible, often conveying the idea of standing firm, positioning oneself, or being established. It can imply a physical standing or a more metaphorical sense of taking a stand or being steadfast.

Context: The Hebrew verb יָצַב (yatsab) appears in several contexts throughout the Old Testament, often associated with the act of standing or positioning oneself. It is a primitive root that conveys the idea of being set or established in a particular place or state. This term is used both in literal and figurative senses, reflecting a range of actions from physically standing to taking a firm stance in a situation.

In Exodus 19:17, the term is used when Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet God, and they "stood" at the foot of the mountain. Here, יָצַב conveys the physical act of standing in a designated place. Similarly, in 1 Samuel 17:16, Goliath "took his stand" morning and evening, challenging the Israelites, which illustrates the idea of positioning oneself for a purpose.

The term also appears in a more metaphorical sense, as in Job 33:5, where it is used to describe taking a stand in a debate or argument. This usage highlights the broader application of יָצַב in contexts that require firmness and resolve.

יָצַב is also used in contexts of offering or presenting oneself, as seen in 2 Chronicles 20:17, where the Israelites are instructed to "stand firm" and see the deliverance of the Lord. This reflects a sense of trust and reliance on divine intervention, emphasizing the spiritual dimension of standing firm in faith.
