Strong's Lexicon matstsab: Pillar, Monument, Station Original Word: מַצָּב Word Origin: Derived from the root נָצַב (natsab), meaning "to stand" or "to set up." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "matstsab," the concept of a pillar or monument can be related to Greek terms such as στῆλος (stēlos), meaning "pillar" or "column," used in the New Testament in contexts like Revelation 3:12. Usage: The Hebrew word "matstsab" refers to a physical structure or object that is set up as a pillar or monument. It is often used in the context of marking a significant event or place, serving as a memorial or a witness to a covenant or divine encounter. The term can also imply a station or position, indicating a place of standing or establishment. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, pillars and monuments were commonly erected to commemorate significant events, victories, or divine encounters. These structures served as tangible reminders of covenants, agreements, or divine interventions. In the biblical context, such pillars were often associated with worship, marking places where God revealed Himself or where significant events in the history of Israel occurred.
