Strong's Lexicon
tsedah: Provision, food, supplies

Original Word: צֵידָה
Part of Speech: Noun Feminine
Transliteration: tseydah
Pronunciation: tseh-daw'
Phonetic Spelling: (tsay-daw')
Definition: Provision, food, supplies
Meaning: food

Word Origin: Derived from the root verb צָדָה (tsadah), meaning "to hunt" or "to provision."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of provision is echoed in the New Testament with words like τροφή (trophe, G5160) meaning "food" or "nourishment."

Usage: The Hebrew word "tsedah" refers to provisions or supplies, particularly food, that are prepared and carried for a journey. It is often used in the context of travel or a long journey where sustenance is needed. The term emphasizes the necessity of preparation and foresight in ensuring that one has enough resources to sustain themselves during their travels.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern culture, travel was often arduous and lengthy, requiring careful planning and preparation. Provisions were essential for survival, as travelers could not rely on finding food along the way. "Tsedah" would typically include dried foods, grains, and other non-perishable items that could sustain individuals or groups during their journey. This concept underscores the importance of being prepared and self-sufficient in a time when resources were not readily available.
