Strong's Lexicon tseda: Provision, food, supplies Original Word: צְדָא Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: tsda' Pronunciation: tseh-dah' Phonetic Spelling: (tsed-aw') Definition: a, design Meaning: To lie in wait, to ambush, to hunt Word Origin: Aramaic, corresponding to the Hebrew root צָדָה (tsadah) Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry is Strong's G230, ἀληθεύω (aletheuo), which means "to speak the truth." While the Greek term does not directly translate the concept of ambush or lying in wait, it reflects the broader Biblical theme of truth versus deception, which can be metaphorically related to the idea of ambush as a deceptive tactic. Usage: This Aramaic verb is used in the context of lying in wait or setting an ambush, often with the intent to capture or hunt. Context: The Aramaic verb צְדָא (tseda') appears in the context of ancient Near Eastern practices of hunting and warfare, where ambushes were a common tactic. The term conveys the idea of strategic positioning with the intent to capture or attack unsuspecting prey or enemies. In the Biblical narrative, such actions are often depicted as part of military strategies or as metaphors for divine judgment or protection. The usage of this term in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament reflects the cultural and historical context of the exilic and post-exilic periods, where Aramaic was a lingua franca of the region.
