Strong's Lexicon Mitsar: Smallness, insignificance, little Original Word: מִצְעָר Word Origin: Derived from the root צָעַר (tsa'ar), meaning "to be small" or "to be insignificant." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is μικρός (mikros), which also means "small" or "little." Usage: The term "Mitsar" is used to denote something that is small or insignificant in size or importance. It often conveys a sense of humility or modesty, either in physical size or in the perceived value of something. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of smallness or insignificance could carry both positive and negative connotations. On one hand, humility and modesty were valued traits, often associated with wisdom and righteousness. On the other hand, being small or insignificant could imply weakness or lack of influence. The Hebrew language often uses physical size as a metaphor for social or spiritual status.
