Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for "yatsa" is ἐξέρχομαι (exerchomai), Strong's Greek 1831, which also means "to go out" or "to come out."
Usage: The Hebrew verb "yatsa" primarily means "to go out" or "to come out." It is used extensively in the Old Testament to describe physical movement from one place to another, the emergence of something, or the act of bringing something forth. It can refer to people, objects, or even abstract concepts like words or decrees. The verb is often used in contexts of deliverance, departure, or the act of leaving a particular state or condition.
Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, movement and transition were significant, often symbolizing change, deliverance, or divine intervention. The concept of "going out" could imply leaving a place of bondage or entering into a new phase of life. The Exodus, where the Israelites "went out" from Egypt, is a central narrative in Jewish history, symbolizing liberation and the fulfillment of God's promises.
