This entry provides a comprehensive understanding of the Hebrew term מוֹסָדָה, highlighting its significance in biblical literature and theology.

Usage: The word מוֹסָדָה is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote the concept of a foundation, particularly in the context of construction or the underlying principles of a structure or system.

Context: • The term מוֹסָדָה appears in the Hebrew Bible to describe the foundational elements of a building or structure. It is often used metaphorically to refer to the underlying principles or truths that support a larger concept or system.
• In the Berean Standard Bible, the word is translated as "foundation" and is used in contexts that emphasize the importance of a strong and reliable base. For example, in Isaiah 28:16, the prophet speaks of a "precious cornerstone" laid as a foundation, symbolizing the sure and steadfast nature of God's promises: "So this is what the Lord GOD says: 'See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation; the one who believes will never be shaken.'"
• The concept of a foundation is significant in biblical theology, as it often represents the stability and permanence of God's covenant and the reliability of His word. The imagery of a foundation is used to convey the idea that just as a building relies on its foundation for support, so too do believers rely on the foundational truths of their faith.
