Berean Strong's Lexicon tseba: Host, army, service, warfare Original Word: צְבָא Word Origin: Derived from the root verb צָבָא (tsavah), meaning "to wage war" or "to serve." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4756 στρατιά (stratia): Refers to an army or host, often used in the New Testament to describe heavenly hosts or angelic armies. Usage: The Hebrew word "tseba" primarily refers to an organized group, often used in the context of a military force or army. It can also denote a host or multitude, and by extension, it is used to describe the celestial bodies as the "host of heaven." In a broader sense, it can imply service or labor, particularly in a military or religious context. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of "tseba" was integral to both military and religious life. The Israelites often viewed their battles as divinely ordained, with God as the commander of their armies. The term also reflects the organization and structure of ancient Near Eastern societies, where military service was a key aspect of citizenship and duty. Additionally, the "host of heaven" reflects the ancient understanding of the stars and celestial bodies as ordered and governed by God.
