Strong's Lexicon tsurah: Form, shape, figure Original Word: צוּרָה Word Origin: Derived from the root verb צוּר (tsur), meaning "to form" or "to fashion." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is μορφή (morphē), which also means "form" or "shape." This term appears in the New Testament, such as in Philippians 2:6-7, where it describes the form of God and the form of a servant. Usage: The Hebrew word "tsurah" primarily refers to the physical form or shape of an object. It can denote the outward appearance or structure of something, often used in the context of describing the form of idols or images. In a broader sense, it can also imply the concept of design or pattern. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of "form" or "shape" was significant, especially in the context of idolatry. The Israelites were often warned against creating or worshiping graven images or forms that represented deities. The emphasis on the prohibition of idol-making highlights the importance of worshiping the unseen God, who transcends physical form. The term "tsurah" would have been understood in this cultural context as a reference to the tangible, visible representation of something, often in contrast to the invisible nature of Yahweh.
