Berean Strong's Lexicon Netsib: Pillar, garrison, officer, prefect Original Word: נְצִיב Word Origin: From the root נָצַב (natsab), meaning "to stand" or "to set up." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "Netsib," the concept of a "pillar" or "officer" can be related to Greek terms such as στῦλος (stulos, G4769) for "pillar" and ἄρχων (archon, G758) for "ruler" or "official." Usage: The Hebrew word "Netsib" primarily refers to a "pillar" or "garrison," and by extension, it can denote an "officer" or "prefect." It is used to describe a physical structure or a person in a position of authority or responsibility. The term conveys the idea of something or someone that is established, standing firm, or set in place for a specific purpose. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, pillars were often used as memorials or markers, signifying important events or covenants. They were also used in religious contexts, sometimes as altars or places of worship. The concept of a "garrison" or "officer" reflects the organized military and administrative structures in ancient Near Eastern societies, where appointed officials were responsible for maintaining order and executing the king's commands.
