Strong's Lexicon Birzoth: Fortifications, Enclosures Original Word: בִּרְזוֹת Part of Speech: Proper Name Feminine Transliteration: Birzowth Pronunciation: bir-ZOTH Phonetic Spelling: (beer-zoth') Definition: Fortifications, Enclosures Meaning: Birzoth Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to enclose or fortify. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "Birzoth," the concept of fortifications can be related to Greek terms such as "πύργος" (pyrgos, meaning "tower") and "τείχος" (teichos, meaning "wall"). Usage: The term "Birzoth" refers to structures or areas that are fortified or enclosed, often for protection or defense. In the context of ancient Israel, such fortifications were crucial for the safety of cities and settlements against enemy attacks. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern societies, including Israel, fortifications were essential for the survival of cities. They were typically constructed with stone walls, towers, and gates. These structures served not only as military defenses but also as symbols of strength and stability. The presence of fortifications often indicated a city's wealth and strategic importance.
