Strong's Lexicon musab: Surrounding, round about, encircling Original Word: מוּסָב Word Origin: Derived from the root סָבַב (sabab), meaning "to turn" or "to surround." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is "περιβάλλω" (periballō), meaning "to surround" or "to clothe." Usage: The Hebrew word "musab" refers to something that is surrounding or encircling. It is often used in the context of describing physical arrangements or structures that are circular or encompass something else. In the Bible, it can describe the arrangement of objects, people, or even abstract concepts like protection or influence. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of being surrounded or encircled carried significant meaning. It could imply protection, as in being surrounded by a wall or army, or it could suggest completeness and unity, as in a circle. The Israelites often used circular arrangements in their architecture and community gatherings, reflecting a sense of wholeness and divine order.
