Strong's Lexicon tso or tsoi: Command, order, decree Original Word: צוֹא Word Origin: Derived from the root צוָה (tsavah), meaning "to command" or "to appoint." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Old Testament) for similar concepts is ἐντολή (entolē), which also means commandment or order. Usage: The Hebrew word "tso" or "tsoi" is used to denote a command or an order, often in the context of divine instructions or decrees. It reflects the authoritative nature of a directive, typically from God or a figure of authority. This term underscores the importance of obedience and adherence to the given command. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, commands and decrees were central to maintaining order and covenantal relationships. The concept of divine command was integral to the Israelites' understanding of their relationship with God, who was seen as the ultimate authority. Commands were not merely suggestions but were binding and carried significant weight, often with blessings for obedience and consequences for disobedience.
