Strong's Lexicon mitsad: Step, footstep Original Word: מִצְעָד Word Origin: Derived from the root צָעַד (tsa'ad), meaning "to step" or "to march." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "mitsad," the concept of steps or walking in a metaphorical sense can be related to Greek words such as "περιπατέω" (peripateo - to walk) and "κατευθύνω" (kateuthyno - to direct or guide). Usage: The Hebrew word "mitsad" refers to a step or a footstep, often used metaphorically to describe the path or direction of one's life. It can imply the guidance or establishment of one's steps by God, indicating divine providence and direction. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, walking and the path one took were often used as metaphors for one's journey in life, moral conduct, and relationship with God. The concept of God directing one's steps is deeply rooted in the understanding of divine sovereignty and care. Walking in the right path was synonymous with living a life in accordance with God's will. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfrom tsaad Definition a step NASB Translation heels (1), steps (2).
