◄ 6728. tsiyyi ►
Strong's Lexicon tsiyyi: Desert-dweller, wild beast, or creature of the desert. Original Word: צִיִּי Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: tsiyiy Pronunciation: tsee-yee Phonetic Spelling: (tsee-ee') Definition: Desert-dweller, wild beast, or creature of the desert. Meaning: a desert-dweller, nomad, wild beast Word Origin: Derived from the root צִיָּה (tsiyyah), meaning "dryness" or "desert." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, but similar concepts of desolation and wilderness can be found in Greek words like ἔρημος (erēmos), meaning "desert" or "solitary place." Usage: The term "tsiyyi" is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to creatures that inhabit desolate or desert regions. It often conveys a sense of wildness and desolation, emphasizing the barrenness and inhospitable nature of such places. The word is sometimes used metaphorically to describe the desolation that comes upon a land as a result of divine judgment. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, deserts were often seen as places of danger and desolation, inhabited by wild animals and spirits. The Hebrew Bible reflects this view, using terms like "tsiyyi" to evoke the harshness and isolation of the wilderness. These areas were typically uninhabited by humans and were associated with chaos and disorder, contrasting with the ordered and cultivated land of settled areas.
