Berean Strong's Lexicon batsar: To cut off, to gather, to restrain, to fortify Original Word: בָּצַר Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5428 (phroureo): To guard, protect, or keep - G2896 (krateo): To hold fast, to seize Usage: The Hebrew verb "batsar" primarily means to cut off or to gather, often in the context of harvesting grapes. It can also imply the act of fortifying or making something inaccessible, suggesting a sense of protection or defense. In a broader sense, it can mean to restrain or to make something unattainable. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, grape harvesting was a significant agricultural activity, and the term "batsar" would have been commonly understood in this context. The process of gathering grapes was not only a vital part of the economy but also held symbolic meaning, often associated with joy and abundance. Additionally, the concept of fortification was crucial in a historical context where cities needed to be defended against invasions, reflecting the importance of security and protection in ancient times.
