Strong's Lexicon qebutsah: Gathering, assembly, collection Original Word: קְבֻצָה Word Origin: Derived from the root קָבַץ (qavats), meaning "to gather" or "to collect." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and the New Testament is συναγωγή (synagōgē, Strong's Greek 4864), which also means assembly or gathering, and is the root for the English word "synagogue." Usage: The term "qebutsah" refers to a gathering or assembly, often used in the context of people coming together for a specific purpose. It can denote a physical gathering or a more abstract collection of ideas or resources. In the biblical context, it often relates to the gathering of people, whether for worship, community, or other collective activities. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, gatherings were central to community life. Whether for religious festivals, communal decision-making, or social events, assemblies played a crucial role in maintaining the social and religious fabric of the society. The concept of gathering is deeply embedded in the Jewish tradition, with significant gatherings such as the pilgrimage festivals (Passover, Shavuot, and Sukkot) being central to Jewish religious life.
