Strong's Lexicon atstsebeth: Idol, image, pain, sorrow Original Word: עַצֶּבֶת Word Origin: Derived from the root עָצַב (atsab), which means "to hurt, pain, grieve." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1497 (εἴδωλον, eidolon) - often translated as "idol" in the New Testament, used to describe false gods or images. - G3079 (λυπέω, lupeo) - meaning "to grieve, to cause pain," reflecting the emotional aspect of idolatry. Usage: The Hebrew word "atstsebeth" primarily refers to an idol or image, often associated with false gods and the worship practices surrounding them. It can also denote pain or sorrow, reflecting the emotional and spiritual consequences of idolatry. The term underscores the futility and grief that come from worshiping anything other than the one true God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, idolatry was a persistent issue, as the Israelites were often tempted to adopt the religious practices of surrounding nations. These practices included the creation and worship of physical idols, which were believed to embody deities. The Hebrew Bible consistently condemns idolatry, emphasizing the exclusive worship of Yahweh. The use of "atstsebeth" highlights the deep sorrow and spiritual pain that result from turning away from God to worship idols.
