Berean Strong's Lexicon atstsil: Side, corner, projection Original Word: אַצִּיל Word Origin: Derived from the root אָצַל (atsal), meaning "to reserve" or "to withdraw." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "atstsil," the concept of "sides" or "corners" can be related to Greek words like γωνία (gōnia), meaning "corner" or "angle," as seen in the New Testament. Usage: The Hebrew word "atstsil" is used to describe a part of the body, specifically the "side" or "corner." It is often used in the context of describing the sides of the altar or the corners of a structure. In a more figurative sense, it can refer to the "projections" or "extensions" of something, indicating a part that extends outward. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of "sides" or "corners" was significant in both religious and architectural contexts. The altar, a central element in Hebrew worship, had specific instructions regarding its construction, including its sides and corners. These elements were not only functional but also symbolic, representing completeness and the encompassing nature of God's covenant with His people.
