Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and the New Testament is θεμέλιος (themelios), which also means "foundation." This term appears in key New Testament passages such as Ephesians 2:20, where believers are described as being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the cornerstone. Usage: The Hebrew word "mosad" refers to a foundation or base, often used in the context of construction or the establishment of something solid and enduring. It conveys the idea of stability and permanence, serving as the underlying support for a structure or concept. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of a foundation was crucial for both physical structures and societal institutions. A well-laid foundation ensured the longevity and stability of buildings, such as homes, temples, and city walls. Metaphorically, a strong foundation was also essential for the spiritual and moral life of the community, reflecting the importance of a solid base in both physical and spiritual realms.
