Strong's Lexicon tsbiy: Beauty, Glory, Splendor, Delight Original Word: צְבִי Word Origin: Derived from the root צָבָה (tsavah), meaning "to swell" or "to be beautiful." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1391 (doxa): Often translated as "glory" or "splendor," used in the New Testament to describe divine majesty and honor. - G2986 (lampros): Meaning "bright" or "splendid," used to describe something that is radiant or magnificent. Usage: The Hebrew word "tsbiy" is often used to denote beauty, glory, or splendor. It can refer to the physical beauty of a land or the metaphorical glory of a nation. In the context of the Bible, it is frequently used to describe the land of Israel, emphasizing its desirability and the divine favor upon it. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, beauty and splendor were often associated with divine favor and blessing. The land of Israel, described as a land flowing with milk and honey, was seen as a physical manifestation of God's promise and blessing to His people. The use of "tsbiy" in this context underscores the covenant relationship between God and Israel, highlighting the land's significance as a divine inheritance.
