Strong's Lexicon tson: Flock, sheep, goats Original Word: צֹאן Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to migrate Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4167 (ποιμήν, poimēn) - shepherd - G4263 (πρόβατον, probaton) - sheep Usage: The Hebrew word "tson" primarily refers to a flock of small livestock, typically sheep and goats. It is used throughout the Old Testament to describe the animals that were central to the agrarian and pastoral lifestyle of ancient Israel. "Tson" is often used metaphorically to represent the people of Israel, with God as their shepherd. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, sheep and goats were vital to the economy and daily life. They provided wool, milk, and meat, and were often used in sacrificial offerings. Shepherding was a common occupation, and the imagery of shepherds and their flocks is prevalent throughout the Bible. This reflects the pastoral culture of the time, where the relationship between a shepherd and his flock was one of care, guidance, and protection.
