Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts of support or sustenance is ἐπιστηρίζω (epistērizō - Strong's Greek 1991), which means "to support" or "to strengthen." Usage: The Hebrew word "misad" refers to something that provides support or sustenance. It is often used in the context of physical or metaphorical support, indicating something that upholds or sustains an individual or group. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of support was integral to community and family life. The idea of providing sustenance was not only about physical nourishment but also about emotional and spiritual support. The community was seen as a network of support, where each member played a role in upholding others. This reflects the broader biblical theme of God as the ultimate sustainer and provider for His people.
