It is typically translated as "axe" or "chisel" in English. The term is used to describe instruments that are essential for construction and craftsmanship, highlighting the importance of skilled labor in ancient times.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, tools like the maatsad were vital for building and crafting. The society was largely agrarian, and tools were necessary for constructing homes, religious structures, and everyday items. The use of such tools is often associated with skilled laborers, who were respected for their ability to transform raw materials into functional and artistic creations. The maatsad would have been a common tool in the toolkit of carpenters and stonemasons.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from an unused word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>an axe<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>cutting tool (2).<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">מַעֲצָד</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>axe</b></font>;
