Strong's Lexicon tsayid: Game, hunting, provision Original Word: צַיִד Word Origin: Derived from the root verb צָדָה (tsadah), meaning "to hunt" or "to catch." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "tsayid," the concept of hunting and provision can be related to Greek words like θήρα (thēra), meaning "hunting" or "prey." Usage: The Hebrew word "tsayid" primarily refers to the act of hunting or the game that is hunted. It can also denote the provision or food obtained through hunting. In the biblical context, it often describes the activities of hunters and the sustenance they provide. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, hunting was a common practice for survival and sustenance. It was also a skill associated with strength and prowess. In the patriarchal narratives of the Bible, hunting is depicted as a significant activity, especially among figures like Esau, who is described as a skillful hunter. The ability to hunt and provide game was valued in a society that relied heavily on agriculture and livestock but also needed to supplement their diet with wild game.
