Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root verb שָׂגַב (sagab), which means "to be high" or "to be exalted."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G998: βεβαίωσις (bebaiōsis) • This Greek term refers to a "confirmation" or "establishment," often used in the context of making something secure or firm. Usage: The word מִשְׂגָּב is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe both physical and metaphorical places of safety and protection. It is often associated with God's protective nature and His ability to provide security for those who trust in Him. Context: • מִשְׂגָּב appears in several passages throughout the Old Testament, emphasizing God's role as a protector and refuge. For instance, in Psalm 18:2 (BSB), it is written, "The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer. My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold (מִשְׂגָּב)." This verse highlights the multifaceted nature of God's protection, using מִשְׂגָּב to underscore His role as a secure and elevated place of safety.
