Strong's Lexicon tsiyts: Blossom, flower, plate, diadem Original Word: צִיץ Word Origin: From the root צוץ (tsuts), meaning "to blossom" or "to shine." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2842 (koinonia): While not a direct translation, the concept of "koinonia" or fellowship can be seen as a New Testament counterpart in terms of the communal and holy aspects of the priesthood. - G4735 (stephanos): Refers to a crown or wreath, similar to the diadem aspect of "tsiyts." Usage: The Hebrew word "tsiyts" primarily refers to a blossom or flower, symbolizing beauty and transience. It is also used to describe a shining plate or diadem, indicating something that is ornate and decorative. In the context of the priestly garments, "tsiyts" refers to the gold plate worn on the high priest's turban, inscribed with "Holy to the LORD." Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, flowers were often used as symbols of beauty and the fleeting nature of life, as seen in various biblical texts. The use of "tsiyts" to describe the high priest's diadem highlights the importance of holiness and dedication to God in the priestly role. The diadem served as a constant reminder of the high priest's consecration and the need for purity in service to the LORD.
