Strong's Lexicon tsela: Rib, side, chamber Original Word: צֵלָע Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to curve or to limp. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for "tsela" is πλευρά (pleura), which also means "side" or "rib." Usage: The Hebrew word "tsela" primarily refers to a "rib" or "side." It is most famously used in the account of the creation of Eve, where God takes a "tsela" from Adam to form her (Genesis 2:21-22). The term can also refer to the side of a structure, such as the side chambers of the temple (1 Kings 6:5). Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of "tsela" as a rib carries significant theological and anthropological implications. The creation of Eve from Adam's rib symbolizes equality and partnership, as she is made from the same substance and is meant to be a companion. Architecturally, the use of "tsela" to describe parts of the temple highlights the importance of structure and design in worship practices.
