Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Tsair, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun referring to a location in the Old Testament. Greek translations of the Hebrew Bible, such as the Septuagint, may use transliterations or equivalent terms to convey the meaning of place names, but these are not directly linked to a specific Strong's Greek number.

Usage: The term Tsair is used in the context of a geographical location, specifically a city in Edom. It appears in the Hebrew Bible as a place name.

Context: Tsair is mentioned in the context of the Edomite territory. It is identified as a city within Edom, a region south of the Dead Sea, historically inhabited by the descendants of Esau. The name Tsair is derived from a root meaning "small" or "insignificant," which may reflect the city's size or status relative to other cities in the region.
• In the Berean Standard Bible, Tsair is referenced in Isaiah 15:5: "My heart cries out for Moab; her fugitives flee as far as Zoar, as far as Eglath-shelishiyah. For at the Ascent of Luhith they go up weeping; surely on the road to Horonaim they raise a cry of destruction."
• The mention of Tsair in the context of Edom highlights the interconnectedness of the ancient Near Eastern peoples and their territories. Edom, being a neighbor to Israel, often appears in biblical narratives concerning regional conflicts and alliances.
• The city of Tsair, while not frequently mentioned, contributes to the broader understanding of Edomite geography and the historical landscape during the biblical period.
