Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root word צוּר (tsur), meaning "rock" or "cliff."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the proper noun Tsur, as it is a specific Hebrew name without a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament. However, the concept of "rock" is often translated in Greek as "πέτρα" (petra) or "λίθος" (lithos), which are used metaphorically in various New Testament passages. Usage: Tsur is used in the Hebrew Bible as a proper name, specifically referring to a person. Context: • Tsur is a name found in the Old Testament, specifically in the context of the Midianite leaders. In Numbers 25:15, Tsur is mentioned as the father of Cozbi, a Midianite woman who was involved in leading the Israelites into idolatry and immorality at Peor. This incident led to a divine plague among the Israelites, which was stopped by the zealous action of Phinehas, the grandson of Aaron. Tsur, as a Midianite prince, represents the opposition and temptation faced by the Israelites during their wilderness journey. The name Tsur, meaning "rock," may symbolize strength or stability, yet in this context, it is associated with a negative influence on the Israelites.
