Strong's Lexicon tsiy: Ship, fleet Original Word: צִי Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: tsiy Pronunciation: tsee Phonetic Spelling: (tsee) Definition: Ship, fleet Meaning: a ship Word Origin: Derived from the root צָיָה (tsayah), meaning "to be dry" or "to be parched." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4143 (πλοῖον, ploion) - ship - G4144 (πλοῦτος, ploutos) - wealth, riches (often associated with ships due to trade) Usage: The Hebrew word "tsiy" primarily refers to a ship or a fleet of ships. It is used in the context of maritime activities, often symbolizing trade, exploration, or military endeavors. The term can also imply a sense of vastness or expanse, as ships were significant in ancient times for their ability to traverse large bodies of water. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near East, ships were crucial for trade and communication between distant lands. The Israelites, though not primarily a seafaring people, were familiar with maritime activities through their interactions with neighboring cultures such as the Phoenicians and Egyptians. Ships were often associated with wealth and power, as they enabled the transport of goods and facilitated cultural exchanges.
