Usage: The term מִצְעָר (Mitsar) is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a specific place. It is mentioned in the context of the narrative of Lot in the book of Genesis. Context: Mitsar is a location mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, specifically in the book of Genesis. It is identified as a small town or city that Lot requested to flee to during the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. In Genesis 19:20-22 (BSB), Lot pleads with the angels to allow him to escape to this "small" city, emphasizing its insignificance and his desire for safety. The name itself, derived from the root meaning "small," underscores the town's modest size and perceived lack of importance. Despite its smallness, Mitsar becomes a place of refuge for Lot and his daughters, highlighting the theme of divine mercy and protection even in seemingly insignificant places.
