Strong's Lexicon atseh: Counsel, advice, purpose Original Word: עָצֶה Word Origin: Derived from the root עָצָה (atsah), which means to shut or close. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1012 (βούλη, boule): Counsel, purpose - G1106 (γνώμη, gnome): Opinion, counsel, purpose Usage: The Hebrew word "atse" is used to denote counsel or advice, often in the context of guidance or strategic planning. It can refer to the counsel given by individuals, such as advisors or wise men, or the divine counsel of God. The term implies a thoughtful and deliberate process of decision-making. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, counsel was highly valued, especially in leadership and governance. Kings and leaders often sought the advice of counselors to make informed decisions. The concept of divine counsel was also significant, as it was believed that God’s guidance was essential for righteous living and successful leadership. The wisdom literature of the Bible, such as Proverbs, frequently emphasizes the importance of seeking wise counsel.
