It primarily denotes a messenger or envoy, someone sent with a message or task. It can also refer to a hinge, as in the pivot point of a door, symbolizing movement or transition. Additionally, "tsir" can describe pain or distress, often in a metaphorical sense, relating to the pangs of childbirth or other forms of suffering.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite society, messengers played a crucial role in communication, especially in diplomatic and military contexts. They were trusted individuals who carried important messages between leaders and nations. The concept of a hinge is significant in ancient architecture, representing the pivotal point that allows for the opening and closing of doors, symbolizing access and security. The use of "tsir" to describe pain reflects the agrarian and familial aspects of Israelite life, where childbirth and its associated pains were common experiences.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/6696c.htm">tsur</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>an image<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>form (1), idols (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> I.
