Berean Strong's Lexicon Metsobayah: Metsobayah Original Word: מְצוֹבָיָה Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root צָבָה (tsavah), meaning "to swell" or "to heap up." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Metsobayah, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, genealogical and territorial terms in the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Old Testament) may use general terms for land or inheritance, such as κληρονομία (kleronomia) for "inheritance." Usage: Metsobayah is a place name mentioned in the genealogical records of the tribe of Judah. It is not frequently referenced in the biblical text, and its exact location remains uncertain. The name may imply a place that is elevated or heaped up, possibly indicating a geographical feature or a fortified location. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of ancient Israel, place names often held significant meaning, reflecting geographical features, historical events, or the characteristics of the inhabitants. The genealogies in the Bible, such as those found in 1 Chronicles, served to establish tribal identities and connections to the Promised Land. Metsobayah, as part of these records, would have contributed to the understanding of territorial boundaries and familial heritage within the tribe of Judah.
