Strong's Lexicon motsa: Going forth, exit, source, place of going out, utterance, east, spring Original Word: מוֹצָא Word Origin: Derived from the root יָצָא (yatsa), meaning "to go out" or "to come forth." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Greek 1831 (ἐξέρχομαι, exerchomai): To go out, come out - Strong's Greek 1607 (ἐκπορεύομαι, ekporeuomai): To go forth, proceed Usage: The Hebrew word "motsa" primarily refers to the concept of "going forth" or "exit." It can denote a physical place of departure, such as a spring or source of water, or metaphorically refer to the origin or source of something, including utterances or decrees. In some contexts, it is used to describe the east, as the direction from which the sun "goes forth." Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of "going forth" was significant in both physical and metaphorical senses. Springs and sources of water were vital for survival in the arid regions of the Near East, making "motsa" a term of life-giving importance. Additionally, the idea of "going forth" was often associated with divine action or decree, reflecting the belief in God's active role in creation and history.
