Strong's Lexicon atsal: To reserve, to withdraw, to separate, to set apart Original Word: אָצַל Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: atsal Pronunciation: aw-tsal' Phonetic Spelling: (aw-tsal') Definition: To reserve, to withdraw, to separate, to set apart Meaning: to separate, to select, refuse, contract Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "atsal," the concept of setting apart is reflected in Greek terms such as "ἀφορίζω" (aphorizo - Strong's Greek 873), which means to separate or set apart. Usage: The Hebrew verb "atsal" primarily conveys the action of separating or setting apart something or someone for a specific purpose. It can also imply the act of reserving or withdrawing. In the context of the Old Testament, it often refers to the divine action of setting apart individuals for a particular role or task, highlighting God's sovereign choice and purpose. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of being set apart was significant, especially in religious and communal contexts. The Israelites themselves were considered a people set apart by God, and within the community, certain individuals, such as priests and prophets, were designated for specific roles. This idea of separation underscores the holiness and distinctiveness required for those chosen for divine purposes.
