Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to establish or set up. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the Hebrew word "tsav" in the Strong's Greek Concordance. However, related concepts of unclean animals and luxurious items can be found in various Greek terms used in the Septuagint and New Testament writings. Usage: The word "tsav" appears in the context of a palanquin or canopy in the Song of Solomon, and as a species of lizard in Levitical texts. Context: • Palanquin/Canopy: In the Song of Solomon 3:9, the term "tsav" is used to describe a palanquin, a type of portable enclosed carriage or litter, often used for carrying royalty or nobility. The passage highlights the grandeur and craftsmanship of Solomon's palanquin, emphasizing its luxurious and ornate nature. The Berean Standard Bible translates this as: "King Solomon has made for himself a carriage from the wood of Lebanon." • Species of Lizard: In Leviticus 11:29-30, "tsav" is listed among the unclean animals, specifically referring to a type of lizard. The text provides dietary laws and classifications of clean and unclean animals for the Israelites. The Berean Standard Bible includes this in the list of creatures that are detestable and should not be eaten: "Of the creatures that move along the ground, these are unclean for you: the weasel, the rat, any kind of great lizard, the gecko, the monitor lizard, the wall lizard, the skink, and the chameleon."
