Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root verb צָעַד (tsa'ad), which means "to step" or "to march."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2487: ἴχνος (ichnos) • This Greek term refers to a "track" or "footstep," often used metaphorically to denote following in someone's steps or example.
• G4197: πορεία (poreia) • This word means "journey" or "way," and it can be used to describe the course or path of one's life, similar to the Hebrew concept of a deliberate and purposeful step.

These entries highlight the thematic continuity between the Hebrew and Greek scriptures, emphasizing the importance of one's path and the steps taken in life, both physically and spiritually.

Usage: The term is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the act of stepping or pacing, often in a figurative sense to denote progress or movement in life or a journey.

Context: • The Hebrew word צַעַד (tsa'ad) appears in various contexts within the Old Testament, often highlighting the concept of movement or progression. It is used to describe the physical act of stepping, as well as metaphorical journeys or paths in life.
• In the Berean Standard Bible, צַעַד is translated in contexts that emphasize the regularity and deliberateness of one's steps. For example, in Job 14:16, it is used to describe God's observation of a person's steps: "For then You would count my steps, but would not keep track of my sin."
• The word is also found in poetic and wisdom literature, where it underscores the importance of careful and righteous living. The measured pace of one's steps can symbolize a life lived with intention and purpose, aligning with divine guidance and wisdom.
