Strong's Lexicon tsabua: Variegated, speckled, or multicolored. Original Word: צָבוּעַ Word Origin: Derived from the root צָבַע (tsava), meaning "to dip" or "to dye." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance that matches the specific meaning of "tsabua." However, the concept of variegation or diversity can be found in Greek words related to color or appearance, such as ποικίλος (poikilos), meaning "varied" or "diverse." Usage: The Hebrew word "tsabua" is used to describe something that is variegated or speckled, often referring to animals with multicolored coats. It conveys the idea of something that is not uniform in color, but rather has a diverse or mixed appearance. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, animals with unique or distinct markings were often noted for their rarity and beauty. The concept of being "speckled" or "variegated" could also carry symbolic meanings, such as diversity or the idea of being set apart. In a broader cultural context, the appearance of animals and their markings could be associated with various beliefs or superstitions.
