Berean Strong's Lexicon qatsah: End, extremity, border, edge Original Word: קָצָה Word Origin: Derived from the root קָצֶה (qatsah), meaning "end" or "extremity." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for "qatsah" is ἄκρον (akron), which also means "end" or "extremity." Usage: The Hebrew word "qatsah" refers to the outermost part or boundary of something. It is often used to describe the physical limits or edges of a geographical area, object, or time period. In the context of the Bible, it can denote the ends of the earth, the borders of a land, or the extremities of a garment. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, boundaries and borders were significant for defining territories, inheritance, and identity. The concept of "qatsah" would have been important in understanding the limits of one's land, the extent of God's creation, and the demarcation of sacred spaces. The Israelites were a people deeply connected to their land, and the boundaries set by God were seen as divinely ordained.
