Berean Strong's Lexicon etsah: Counsel, advice, purpose, plan Original Word: עֵצָה Word Origin: Derived from the root verb יָעַץ (ya'ats), meaning "to advise" or "to counsel." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1012 (boulē): Often translated as "counsel" or "purpose," similar to "etsah" in its usage. - G1106 (gnōmē): Refers to opinion, counsel, or judgment, aligning with the advisory aspect of "etsah." Usage: The Hebrew word "etsah" primarily refers to counsel or advice, often implying wisdom or guidance. It can also denote a plan or purpose, particularly in the context of divine or strategic planning. In the Old Testament, "etsah" is frequently used to describe the counsel of God, the advice of wise individuals, or the plans of nations and individuals. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, counsel was highly valued, especially from elders, prophets, and wise individuals. The concept of seeking and heeding wise counsel is deeply embedded in the wisdom literature of the Bible, such as Proverbs and Ecclesiastes. The Israelites believed that true wisdom and effective plans originated from God, and thus divine counsel was sought in matters of national and personal importance.
