Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root word צֹר (Tsor), which refers to the city of Tyre.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct Greek equivalent for the term "Tsorite," the city of Tyre is referred to in the New Testament using the Greek term Τύρος (Turos), which corresponds to Strong's Greek Number 5184. This term is used in passages such as Matthew 11:21 and Mark 7:24, where Tyre is mentioned in the context of Jesus' ministry and teachings.

Usage: The term "Tsorite" is used to denote a person from the city of Tyre, a significant ancient Phoenician city known for its commerce and fortifications.

Context: • The term צֹרִי (Tsorite) is a proper noun used to identify individuals originating from the city of Tyre. Tyre was a prominent city in ancient Phoenicia, located on the Mediterranean coast. It played a crucial role in maritime trade and was known for its wealth and strategic importance.
• In the biblical context, Tyre is often mentioned in relation to its interactions with Israel and other neighboring nations. The city is noted for its skilled artisans and builders, as seen in the collaboration between King Hiram of Tyre and King Solomon during the construction of the Temple in Jerusalem (1 Kings 5:1-12).
• The Tsorites, as inhabitants of Tyre, were part of a culture renowned for its seafaring and commercial prowess. Tyre's influence extended across the Mediterranean, and its people were instrumental in spreading Phoenician culture and the alphabet.
• The Bible also records prophecies against Tyre, highlighting its eventual downfall due to pride and opposition to God's people (Ezekiel 26-28). Despite its historical significance, Tyre's fate serves as a reminder of the transient nature of human achievements in contrast to divine sovereignty.
