Strong's Lexicon nesibbah: Circuit, roundabout way, surroundings Original Word: נְסִבָּה Word Origin: Derived from the root סָבַב (savav), meaning "to turn" or "to go around." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of a circuit or surrounding can be related to Greek terms like περίχωρος (perichōros - G4066), meaning "surrounding region." Usage: The Hebrew word "nesibbah" refers to a circuit or a roundabout way, often used to describe a path or route that encircles an area. It can also denote the surroundings or environment of a particular place. In the context of the Bible, it is used to describe the physical layout or the strategic positioning of locations, often in military or geographical contexts. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, understanding the geography and topography was crucial for travel, trade, and military strategy. The concept of a "circuit" or "roundabout way" would have been familiar to the Israelites, who often traveled by foot or caravan through varied terrains. The term "nesibbah" reflects the importance of knowing one's surroundings and the routes that connect different regions.
