It can denote anything made of wood, from simple tools to the cross on which Jesus was crucified. Usage: The word עֵצָה is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote timber or wood, particularly in contexts involving building or crafting. It is a term that highlights the material aspect of wood, emphasizing its utility and value in construction and craftsmanship. Context: The Hebrew term עֵצָה (etzah) appears in the context of ancient Israelite society, where timber was a crucial resource for building and crafting. The use of עֵצָה in the Hebrew Bible underscores the importance of wood as a material for constructing homes, temples, and various implements. Timber was sourced from local forests or imported from regions known for their quality wood, such as Lebanon, famous for its cedars. The term reflects the practical and economic aspects of wood in biblical times, serving as a reminder of the reliance on natural resources for daily life and religious practices. In the Berean Standard Bible, references to timber often highlight its role in significant construction projects, such as the building of Solomon's Temple, where quality wood was a symbol of wealth and divine favor.
