Strong's Lexicon atsil: Noble, nobleman, chief Original Word: אָצִיל Word Origin: Derived from the root אָצַל (atsal), meaning "to reserve" or "to set apart." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "atsil," the concept of nobility and leadership can be related to Greek terms such as ἄρχων (archon, Strong's G758), meaning "ruler" or "leader." Usage: The Hebrew word "atsil" is used to denote individuals of high status or nobility, often referring to leaders or those who hold significant authority within a community. It conveys the idea of someone who is set apart due to their position, influence, or character. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of nobility was closely tied to leadership and governance. Nobles or chiefs were often responsible for making important decisions, leading military campaigns, and maintaining justice within their communities. Their status was not only a matter of birth but also of character and capability. The term "atsil" reflects the societal structure where certain individuals were recognized for their leadership and wisdom.
