This Greek term is used in the New Testament to convey similar imagery of beauty and transience, as seen in passages like James 1:10-11, where the fleeting nature of wealth and human achievement is compared to the flower of the field. Usage: The word צִיץ (tsits) is used in various contexts within the Hebrew Bible, often to describe objects that are visually striking or decorative. It appears in descriptions of priestly garments, natural beauty, and symbolic imagery. Context: • Glistening/Burnished Plate: In Exodus 28:36, צִיץ (tsits) refers to the gold plate worn on the high priest's turban, inscribed with "Holy to the LORD." This plate was a significant part of the priestly garments, symbolizing holiness and dedication to God. The Berean Standard Bible (BSB) translates this as: "You are to make a plate of pure gold and engrave on it as on a seal: HOLY TO THE LORD."
