Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root verb צוּר (tsur), which means "to bind" or "to besiege."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G3794 (ochuroma): Refers to a stronghold or fortress, similar to the defensive aspect of מָצוֹר. Usage: The word מָצוֹר is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe situations of siege, distress, or fortification. It often conveys the idea of being surrounded or confined, either physically or metaphorically. Context: • Māṣôr is frequently used in the context of military actions, particularly in describing the laying of siege to a city. It implies the construction of siege works or mounds to encircle and isolate a target, cutting off supplies and escape routes. This term is emblematic of the ancient Near Eastern warfare tactics where cities were often besieged for extended periods.
