Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and the New Testament for similar concepts of humility and smallness is ταπεινός (tapeinos), Strong's Greek #5011, which means "humble" or "lowly." Usage: The term "mitstseirah" conveys the idea of something being small or insignificant. It is used to describe things that are minor in size or importance. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it often refers to the concept of humility or the state of being lowly. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, humility and the recognition of one's smallness before God were highly valued traits.

The concept of "mitstseirah" aligns with this cultural value, highlighting the significance of recognizing one's limitations and the greatness of God. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originsee tsair.
