It is used in the context of maritime activities, often symbolizing trade, exploration, or military endeavors. The term can also imply a sense of vastness or expanse, as ships were significant in ancient times for their ability to traverse large bodies of water.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near East, ships were crucial for trade and communication between distant lands. The Israelites, though not primarily a seafaring people, were familiar with maritime activities through their interactions with neighboring cultures such as the Phoenicians and Egyptians. Ships were often associated with wealth and power, as they enabled the transport of goods and facilitated cultural exchanges.<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> I. <font class="hebrew2">צִי</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font><sup>Isaiah 33:21</sup> <font size="+1"><b>ship</b></font> (loan-word from Egyptian <i><em>t'a£</em></i>, according to Bondi<sup>66</sup>, compare Erman<sup>ZMG xivi (1892),123</sup> DHM<sup>VOJ viii. 7, 165</sup>); — absolute <font class="hebrew2">צִי אַדִּיר</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/33-21.htm">Isaiah 33:21</a> <em>a majestic ship</em>; plural <font class="hebrew2">צִים</font> <a href="/interlinear/numbers/24-24.htm">Numbers 24:24</a> (JE), <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/30-9.htm">Ezekiel 30:9</a> (<font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">בַּצּ</font>; but <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">σπεύδοντες</font>, compare <font class="hebrew2">ᵑ6</font>, whence Co Berthol <font class="hebrew2">אָצִים</font>). <p> <font class="hebrew2">צִיּים</font>, <font class="hebrew2">צִים</font> see I, II. <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">צִ</font>. <font class="hebrew2">צִין</font> </p><p style="sub1"> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, of a location</b></font>see <font class="hebrew2">צִן</font> <p><font class="hebrew2">צִינֹק</font> see <font class="hebrew2">צנק</font>. <font class="hebrew2">צִיעֹר</font> see <font class="hebrew2">צער</font>. <p><font class="hebrew2">ציף</font> see II. <font class="hebrew2">צוּף</font>.
