Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root יָצַע (yāṣa‘), which means "to spread out" or "to extend."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry in Strong's Concordance is G4125 (προσκεφάλαιον, proskefalaion), which refers to a "pillow" or "cushion," used in the New Testament to describe a place of rest or support, similar to the function of יָצוּעַ as a place of repose.

Usage: The word יָצוּעַ is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a bed or a place of rest. It can also imply a structure or covering that is spread out, such as a canopy or a lean-to. The term is often associated with rest, sleep, or a place of repose.

Context: יָצוּעַ (yāṣûa‘) appears in various contexts within the Hebrew Scriptures, often highlighting the concept of rest or a designated place for lying down. In the poetic and wisdom literature, it is used metaphorically to describe the intimate and personal space of an individual, such as in Psalms and Proverbs. For example, in Psalm 63:6 (BSB), the psalmist reflects on God during the night watches, indicating a place of meditation and rest: "When I remember You on my bed, I think of You through the watches of the night."

The term also appears in narratives where physical rest or the preparation of a place for rest is described. In 2 Samuel 4:5-7 (BSB), the narrative of Ish-bosheth's assassination includes a reference to his bed, illustrating the vulnerability and personal nature of one's יָצוּעַ.

The concept of יָצוּעַ extends beyond a mere physical bed to encompass the idea of a prepared place, whether for rest, protection, or intimacy. This reflects the broader cultural and theological significance of rest and refuge in the biblical worldview.
