Strong's Lexicon meyussadah: Foundation Original Word: מְיֻסָּדָה Part of Speech: verb; noun Transliteration: myuccadah Pronunciation: meh-yoo-sah-DAH Phonetic Spelling: (meh-yoos-saw-daw') Definition: something founded, a foundation Meaning: The term מְיֻסָּדָה refers to something that is founded or a foundation. Word Origin: Derived from the root יָסַד (yasad), meaning "to found" or "to establish." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2310 (θεμέλιος, themelios): Refers to a foundation or something laid down as a base. • G2602 (καταβολή, katabolē): Often used in the New Testament to describe the foundation of the world or the act of founding. These Greek terms parallel the Hebrew concept of מְיֻסָּדָה, emphasizing the foundational aspects of both physical structures and spiritual truths within the biblical narrative. Usage: This word is used in the context of describing a physical or metaphorical foundation, often in relation to construction or the establishment of something significant. Context: מְיֻסָּדָה appears in the Hebrew Bible to denote the concept of a foundation, both in literal and figurative senses. It is used to describe the foundational elements of buildings, cities, or even abstract concepts such as wisdom or faith. The term emphasizes the importance of a strong and reliable base upon which something is built or established. In the context of biblical literature, foundations are often symbolic of stability, strength, and permanence. For example, in Isaiah 28:16, the prophet speaks of a "tested stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation," highlighting the reliability and enduring nature of what God establishes. This imagery is significant in biblical theology, where foundations are not only physical but also spiritual, representing the underlying truths and principles of faith.
