Strong's Lexicon Mitspah: Mizpah Original Word: מִצְפָה Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root צָפָה (tsaphah), meaning "to watch" or "to look out." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Mizpah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew geography and culture. Usage: Mitspah, or Mizpah, means "watchtower" or "lookout." It is used in the Bible to refer to several locations, often associated with a place of gathering, covenant, or watchfulness. The term implies a place of vigilance or oversight. Cultural and Historical Background: Mizpah was a significant site in ancient Israel, often serving as a gathering place for the Israelites. It was a location where important events, such as covenants and judgments, took place. The name reflects its strategic position as a lookout point, which was crucial for communication and defense in ancient times.
