Berean Strong's Lexicon tsoneh or tsone: Flock, Sheep Original Word: צֹנֶה or צֹנֶה Word Origin: Derived from the root צָנָה (tsanah), which means to be humble or modest. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4167 - ποιμήν (poimēn) - Shepherd - G4165 - ποιμαίνω (poimainō) - To shepherd, to tend Usage: The term "tsoneh" or "tsone" is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a flock, typically of sheep or goats. It is often used metaphorically to describe the people of Israel as the flock of God, emphasizing their need for guidance and protection under the leadership of a shepherd, who is often a representation of God or a divinely appointed leader. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, sheep and goats were central to the agrarian lifestyle and economy. They provided wool, milk, and meat, and were often used in sacrificial offerings. The imagery of a shepherd and flock was deeply ingrained in the cultural consciousness, symbolizing care, provision, and leadership. Shepherds were responsible for the safety and well-being of their flocks, leading them to pastures and water, and protecting them from predators.
