Strong's Lexicon etsem: Bone, essence, substance, selfsame Original Word: עֶצֶם Word Origin: Derived from the root עָצַם (atsam), meaning "to be strong" or "to be mighty." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3747 (osteon): Refers to "bone" in the New Testament, used in similar contexts, such as in John 19:36, "Not one of His bones will be broken." Usage: The Hebrew word "etsem" primarily refers to "bone," the structural component of the body. It is used both literally and metaphorically in the Hebrew Bible. Literally, it denotes the physical bones of humans and animals. Metaphorically, it can signify strength, essence, or the very substance of something, reflecting the idea of foundational or essential elements. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, bones were considered the core of physical strength and vitality. They were also associated with life and death, as bones were often the last remaining part of a body after death, symbolizing endurance and continuity. The preservation of bones was important in burial practices, reflecting beliefs about the afterlife and resurrection.
