Strong's Lexicon garzen: Axe, Ax Original Word: גַּרְזֶן Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: garzen Pronunciation: gar-ZEN Phonetic Spelling: (gar-zen') Definition: Axe, Ax Meaning: an axe Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to chop Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the concept of an axe can be related to the Greek word "πέλεκυς" (pelekus), which also means axe. Usage: The Hebrew word "garzen" refers to an axe, a tool used for chopping wood or cutting down trees. In the biblical context, it is often associated with labor, construction, and sometimes judgment or destruction. The axe is a symbol of power and authority, as well as a tool for shaping and creating. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the axe was an essential tool for daily life, used in agriculture, construction, and warfare. Wood was a primary resource for building homes, making tools, and crafting weapons. The axe, therefore, was a symbol of both creation and destruction. It was a common tool among the Israelites and other ancient Near Eastern cultures, reflecting the agrarian and pastoral lifestyle of the time.
