Strong's Lexicon natsab: To stand, set, establish, station Original Word: נָצַב Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2476 (histemi): To stand, to set, to establish - G4739 (stereoo): To make firm, to establish Usage: The Hebrew verb "natsab" primarily means to stand or to set something in place. It conveys the idea of being firmly positioned or established. This term is often used in the context of standing firm, being stationed, or setting up something with purpose and intention. It can also imply taking a stand in a figurative sense, such as standing firm in one's beliefs or decisions. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of standing or being established was significant, both physically and metaphorically. To stand was to be present, to take a position, or to be ready for action. In a historical context, standing could refer to a soldier taking his position in battle or a leader standing before the people. The idea of being established also had covenantal implications, as God would establish His people or His promises.
