Strong's Lexicon y'at,: To advise, counsel, consult, determine Original Word: יְעַט Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1012 (boule) - Counsel, purpose - G4823 (symboulion) - Counsel, advice Usage: The Hebrew verb יָעַץ (ya'ats) primarily means to advise or counsel. It is used in the context of providing guidance, making decisions, or determining a course of action. This term often appears in the context of wise counsel, strategic planning, or divine guidance. It underscores the importance of seeking and heeding wise advice, whether from human or divine sources. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, counsel was highly valued, especially from elders, prophets, and leaders. The act of seeking advice was integral to decision-making processes, whether in personal, communal, or national matters. The concept of counsel is deeply rooted in the wisdom literature of the Bible, where the pursuit of wisdom and understanding is paramount. The role of a counselor was not only to provide practical advice but also to guide others in moral and spiritual matters.
