In the Old Testament, it is often used to denote a physical structure erected as a memorial or as a representation of a covenant. These pillars could be used for both religious and secular purposes, such as marking a significant event, place, or agreement.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, stone pillars were commonly used as markers or memorials. They served as tangible reminders of divine encounters, covenants, or significant events. In Israelite culture, these pillars were sometimes erected to commemorate encounters with God or to signify a place of worship. However, they could also be associated with pagan practices, which led to their condemnation in certain contexts.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/6087.htm">atsab</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a place of pain<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>torment (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">מַעֲצֵבָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>place of pain</b></font> (> simply <em>pain</em>); — <font class="hebrew2">תִּשְׁכָב֫וּן</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">לְמ</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/50-11.htm">Isaiah 50:11</a><em>in</em> (construction praegn.) <em>a place of pain shall ye lie down</em>. <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>sorrow <p>From <a href="/hebrew/6087.htm">atsab</a>; anguish -- sorrow. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/6087.htm">atsab</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>לְמַעֲצֵבָ֖ה למעצבה lə·ma·‘ă·ṣê·ḇāh ləma‘ăṣêḇāh lemaatzeVah<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/isaiah/50-11.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Isaiah 50:11</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/isaiah/50.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">זֹּ֣את לָכֶ֔ם <b> לְמַעֲצֵבָ֖ה </b> תִּשְׁכָּבֽוּן׃ פ</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/isaiah/50.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> You will lie down <span class="itali">in torment.</span><br><a href="/kjvs/isaiah/50.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> ye shall lie down <span class="itali">in sorrow.</span><br><a href="/interlinear/isaiah/50-11.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> will have likewise <span class="itali">torment</span> will lie<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4620.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4620.htm">Strong's Hebrew 4620<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/lemaatzevah_4620.htm">lə·ma·‘ă·ṣê·ḇāh — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/4619.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="4619"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="4619" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/4621.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="4621"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="4621" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
