This term appears in passages like 1 Corinthians 3:11, "For no one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ."<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "yesudah" refers to a foundation or a base upon which something is built. In the biblical context, it often signifies the physical foundation of a building, such as a temple or a city wall. Metaphorically, it can also imply the foundational principles or truths upon which faith or life is established.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, the concept of a foundation was crucial for both physical structures and spiritual life. The foundation of a building determined its stability and longevity. Similarly, the spiritual foundation of a community or individual was seen as essential for enduring faithfulness to God. The construction of the temple in Jerusalem, with its carefully laid foundations, symbolized the centrality of worship and the presence of God among His people.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>fem. of <a href="/hebrew/3246.htm">yesud</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>foundation<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>foundation (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">יְסוּדָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>foundation</b></font> = <font size="+1"><b>city founded</b></font>; <font class="hebrew2">יְסוּדָתוֺ בְּהַרֲרֵיקִֿדֶשׁ</font> <a href="/interlinear/psalms/87-1.htm">Psalm 87:1</a> ("" <font class="hebrew2">שַׁעֲרֵי צִיּוֺן</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">אֹהֵב י</font>). <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>foundation <p>Feminine of <a href="/hebrew/3246.htm">ycud</a>; a foundation -- foundation. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/3246.htm">ycud</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>יְ֝סוּדָת֗וֹ יִסְּד֛וּ יסדו יסודתו yə·sū·ḏā·ṯōw yesudaTo yəsūḏāṯōw yis·sə·ḏū yisseDu yissəḏū<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/psalms/87-1.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Psalm 87:1</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/psalms/87.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">מִזְמ֣וֹר שִׁ֑יר <b> יְ֝סוּדָת֗וֹ </b> בְּהַרְרֵי־ קֹֽדֶשׁ׃</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/psalms/87.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> <span class="itali">A Psalm of the sons of Korah.
