Strong's Lexicon etsel: Beside, near, by, with Original Word: אֵצֶל Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to join or to be near Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "etsel," the concept of proximity or nearness can be found in Greek prepositions such as "παρά" (para, Strong's G3844) meaning "beside" or "near." Usage: The Hebrew word "etsel" is primarily used as a preposition to denote proximity or nearness. It is often translated as "beside," "near," "by," or "with" in English. This word is used to describe physical closeness or association between people, objects, or locations. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, physical proximity often implied a relationship or connection. Being "beside" someone could indicate companionship, support, or alliance. The concept of nearness was significant in a society where community and familial ties were central to daily life. The use of "etsel" in the Hebrew Bible reflects these cultural values, emphasizing the importance of relationships and presence.
