Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root בָּצַר (batsar), meaning "to fortify" or "to make inaccessible."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the proper noun Mibtsar, as it is specific to the Hebrew genealogical context. However, the concept of a "fortress" or "stronghold" can be related to Greek terms such as ὀχύρωμα (ochyrōma), Strong's Greek Number 3794, which means "fortress" or "stronghold." Usage: Mibtsar is used as a personal name in the Old Testament. It appears in genealogical records, specifically in the context of the descendants of Esau. Context: Mibtsar is mentioned in the genealogical lists of the Edomites, who were descendants of Esau. In Genesis 36:42, Mibtsar is listed as one of the chiefs of Edom: "Kenaz, Teman, Mibzar." The name Mibtsar, meaning "fortress," reflects the Edomite tradition of naming individuals after strongholds or fortified places, which were significant in their culture and geography. The Edomites were known for their mountainous and rugged terrain, which provided natural fortifications. Mibtsar, as a chief, would have been a leader or ruler within the Edomite community, possibly overseeing a region or a group of people. The mention of Mibtsar in the genealogical records underscores the importance of lineage and leadership within the Edomite society.
