Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root קָצָה (qatsah), which means "to cut off" or "to end."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The corresponding Greek term in the Strong's Concordance is G4419 (πτερύγιον, pterygion), which refers to a pinnacle or extremity, often used in the New Testament to describe the pinnacle of the temple in the temptation of Jesus (Matthew 4:5). This Greek term similarly conveys the idea of an extremity or high point, paralleling the Hebrew concept of a boundary or end.

Usage: The word "qatsah" is used in various contexts in the Hebrew Bible to describe the end or extremity of physical objects, territories, or periods of time. It often conveys the idea of a boundary or limit.

Context: • The term קָצָה (qatsah) appears in several passages throughout the Hebrew Bible, often in the context of describing the extremities or boundaries of geographical locations or objects. For example, in Genesis 47:21, it is used to describe the extremities of the land of Egypt: "As for the people, he relocated them to cities from one end of the borders of Egypt to the other." This usage highlights the comprehensive nature of Joseph's actions in relocating the population.
• In Exodus 13:20, the term is used to describe the edge of the wilderness: "They set out from Succoth and camped at Etham on the edge of the wilderness." Here, "qatsah" indicates the boundary between settled land and the wilderness.
• The word also appears in the context of time, as in Job 26:10, where it describes the boundary between light and darkness: "He has inscribed a circle on the face of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness."
• The concept of "qatsah" is significant in understanding the biblical worldview of order and boundaries, emphasizing the limits set by God in creation and human affairs.
