(BSB).<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The Hebrew word "betsah" refers to an egg, a common item in the diet and daily life of ancient Near Eastern cultures. It is used in the Bible to describe a literal egg, often in the context of food or as a metaphor for something fragile or in need of care.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, eggs were a staple food, valued for their nutritional content and ease of preparation. They were often gathered from domesticated birds such as chickens or from wild birds. Eggs also held symbolic meaning, representing new life and potential. In the broader ancient Near Eastern context, eggs were sometimes used in rituals and as offerings.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from
