Strong's Lexicon ts'adah: Step, pace Original Word: צְעָדָה Word Origin: Derived from the root צָעַד (tsā'ad), which means "to step" or "to march." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is "βῆμα" (bēma), which can mean step or pace, though it is more commonly associated with a judgment seat or platform. Usage: The term "ts'adah" refers to a step or pace, often used in the context of walking or marching. It conveys the idea of movement, progression, or a measured stride. In the Hebrew Bible, it can denote both literal and metaphorical steps, indicating physical movement or the progression of events. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, walking was a primary mode of transportation and a common metaphor for living one's life or following a path. The concept of steps or paces was significant in a society where journeys were often undertaken on foot, and where one's walk could symbolize one's spiritual journey or moral conduct. The term "ts'adah" would have been understood in the context of daily life, travel, and spiritual metaphor.
