Part of Speech: Noun Masculine
Transliteration: qatseh
Pronunciation: kä-tseh'
Phonetic Spelling: (kaw-tseh')
Definition: End, edge, extremity, border
Meaning: an extremity
Word Origin: Derived from the root קָצָה (qatsah), meaning "to cut off" or "to end."
Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G206 (ἄκρον, akron): Refers to the extremity or topmost point.
- G4009 (πέρας, peras): Denotes the end or limit.
Usage: The Hebrew word "qatseh" primarily denotes the end or extremity of something. It is often used to describe the physical boundaries or edges of a geographical area, such as the borders of a land or the extremities of a structure. In a broader sense, it can also refer to the end of a period or the conclusion of an event.
Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, understanding the boundaries of land was crucial for maintaining tribal territories and inheritance rights. The concept of "qatseh" would have been significant in legal and social contexts, as it defined the limits of one's property and influence. The term also carries a metaphorical weight, often used to describe the limits of human life or the extent of God's creation.
