Berean Strong's Lexicon netsib: Pillar, garrison, officer, prefect Original Word: נְצִיב Word Origin: From the root נָצַב (natsab), meaning "to stand" or "to set up." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "netsib," the concept of a "pillar" or "officer" can be related to Greek terms like στῦλος (stulos, G4769) for "pillar" and ἄρχων (archon, G758) for "ruler" or "official." Usage: The Hebrew word "netsib" primarily refers to a "pillar" or "garrison," and by extension, it can denote an "officer" or "prefect." It is used in the context of something that is set up or established, often with a sense of authority or permanence. In the Bible, it can refer to physical structures like pillars or to positions of authority such as officers or governors. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, pillars were often used as memorials or markers, signifying important events or covenants. They were also used architecturally to support structures. The term "netsib" as a garrison or officer reflects the organized military and administrative systems in place during the biblical period, where appointed officials or military posts were established to maintain order and governance.
