Strong's Lexicon tsebathim: Pincers, tongs Original Word: צֶבֶת Word Origin: Derived from the root צָבַת (tsavat), meaning "to grasp" or "to hold." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of tools used in temple service can be related to Greek terms like "λαβίς" (labis), meaning tongs or pincers, used in the Septuagint. Usage: The term "tsebathim" refers to a tool used for grasping or holding, typically in the context of working with metals. It is often associated with the implements used in the tabernacle or temple for handling hot coals or other items related to the sacrificial system. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the tabernacle and later the temple were central places of worship and sacrifice. The priests used various tools, including tongs, to manage the altar and its offerings. These tools were essential for maintaining the sacred rituals and ensuring the proper handling of holy items. The use of tongs reflects the care and precision required in the worship practices of the Israelites, emphasizing the holiness and reverence due to God.
