Berean Strong's Lexicon moshab: Dwelling, habitation, seat, assembly, settlement Original Word: מוֹשָׁב Word Origin: Derived from the root יָשַׁב (yashab), meaning "to sit," "to dwell," or "to inhabit." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for "moshab" is "κατοικία" (katoikia), which also means dwelling or habitation. Usage: The Hebrew word "moshab" primarily refers to a place of dwelling or habitation. It can denote a physical location where people live, such as a house, village, or city. Additionally, it can refer to a seat or assembly, indicating a place where people gather or reside together. The term is used to describe both temporary and permanent places of residence. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of "moshab" was integral to understanding community and family life. The Israelites were a tribal and agrarian society, and their identity was closely tied to the land and their settlements. The "moshab" was not just a physical location but also a representation of social and familial bonds. It was a place where the community gathered for worship, decision-making, and social interaction. The idea of dwelling was also significant in the context of God's presence among His people, as seen in the tabernacle and later the temple.
