Strong's Lexicon Mibtsar: Fortress, stronghold, fortified place Original Word: מִבְצָר Word Origin: Derived from the root בָּצַר (batsar), meaning "to fortify" or "to make inaccessible." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3794 (ochyrōma): A Greek term for "fortress" or "stronghold," used metaphorically in the New Testament, such as in 2 Corinthians 10:4, where it refers to spiritual strongholds. Usage: The term "Mibtsar" refers to a fortified place or stronghold, often used in the context of military defense. It denotes a place of security and protection, typically a structure or location that is heavily fortified to withstand attacks. In the biblical narrative, it is used both literally, to describe physical fortresses, and metaphorically, to signify spiritual or divine protection. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel and the surrounding regions, fortresses were crucial for defense against invading armies. These structures were strategically located on high ground or near vital resources like water. They were often constructed with thick walls and towers, serving as places of refuge during times of war. The concept of a fortress also held spiritual significance, symbolizing God's protection and strength for His people.
