Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and New Testament for similar concepts includes "στήκω" (stēkō), which also means to stand firm or be steadfast.

Usage: The Hebrew verb "yetsab" primarily conveys the action of setting or placing something in a firm position. It is often used in contexts where establishing or standing firm is emphasized, whether physically, mentally, or spiritually. The term can imply a sense of stability, determination, or readiness.
