Original Word: מוֹצָא
Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine
Transliteration: Motsa
Pronunciation: mo-tsaw'
Phonetic Spelling: (mo-tsaw')
Definition: Going forth, source, exit, place of going out, utterance
Meaning: Motsa

Word Origin: Derived from the root יָצָא (yatsa), meaning "to go out" or "to come forth."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1607 (ekporeuomai): To go out, to come forth

- G1831 (exerchomai): To go out, to come forth

Usage: The Hebrew word "motsa" primarily refers to the concept of "going forth" or "coming out." It can denote a physical exit or departure, such as a place from which something emerges. Additionally, it can refer to the source or origin of something, including the utterance of words or the issuing of decrees. In a broader sense, it can also imply the results or outcomes of actions.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of "going forth" was significant in both physical and metaphorical contexts. The Israelites, as a nomadic and later agrarian society, understood the importance of sources, whether it be water, food, or divine guidance. The term "motsa" would have been used to describe not only physical exits and sources but also the spiritual and moral origins of actions and words, reflecting the holistic worldview of the Hebrew people.
