Berean Strong's Lexicon tseba: Host, army, service, warfare Original Word: צְבָא Word Origin: Derived from the root verb צָבָא (tsaba), meaning "to wage war" or "to serve." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4756 στρατιά (stratia): Often used in the New Testament to refer to a host or army, particularly in a celestial context, such as the "heavenly host" in Luke 2:13. Usage: The Hebrew word "tseba" primarily refers to an organized group, often used in the context of a military force or army. It can also denote a host of heavenly bodies, such as stars or angels, emphasizing order and structure. In some contexts, it refers to the service or duty performed by such a group, whether in a military or religious setting. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of "tseba" was integral to both military and religious life. The Israelites often viewed their battles as divinely ordained, with God as the commander of their armies. The term also reflects the broader Ancient Near Eastern understanding of cosmic order, where celestial bodies and divine beings were seen as part of a heavenly host under God's command. This reflects the belief in a structured universe governed by divine authority.
