Strong's Lexicon ashoth: Foundations, bases, or supports Original Word: עָשׁוֹת Word Origin: Derived from the root word אָשָׁה (ashah), which means "to make" or "to do." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is θεμέλιος (themelios), which also means "foundation." Usage: The term "ashoth" is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to physical foundations or supports, often in the context of structures or buildings. It conveys the idea of something that provides stability and support, ensuring that what is built upon it remains secure and steadfast. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of a strong foundation was crucial, not only in a physical sense but also metaphorically. Buildings, especially significant ones like the Temple, required solid foundations to withstand the test of time and natural elements. Spiritually, a firm foundation was seen as essential for a life built on faith and obedience to God.
