It is used to describe situations where there is a limitation or hindrance imposed upon someone or something.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite society, the concept of restraint or oppression was not only a physical reality but also a spiritual and social one. The Israelites often faced oppression from surrounding nations, and the idea of being restrained or held back was a common experience. This term would resonate with the audience of the Hebrew Bible, who understood the implications of being under constraint, whether by foreign powers or by societal structures.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/6113.htm">atsar</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>perhaps restraint<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>ruler* (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">עֶ֫צֶר</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>restraint</b></font> (?), only <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">יוֺרֵשׁ ע</font> <a href="/interlinear/judges/18-7.htm">Judges 18:7</a> <em>a possessor of restraint</em>, i.e. ruler, but <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <font class="hebrew2">ᵑ9</font> <em>wealth</em>, so Thes and others, text very dubious, compare GFM<sup></sup> Bu conjecture that <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">ע</font> combines readings <font class="hebrew2">אֹצָר</font> and <font class="hebrew2">עשֶׁר</font>. <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>magistrate <p>From <a href="/hebrew/6113.htm">atsar</a>; restraint -- + magistrate. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/6113.htm">atsar</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>עֶ֔צֶר עצר ‘e·ṣer ‘eṣer Etzer<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/judges/18-7.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Judges 18:7</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/judges/18.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">בָּאָ֙רֶץ֙ יוֹרֵ֣שׁ <b> עֶ֔צֶר </b> וּרְחֹקִ֥ים הֵ֙מָּה֙</span><br><a href="/interlinear/judges/18-7.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> the land cast out <span class="itali">magistrate</span> were far from<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6114.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6114.htm">Strong's Hebrew 6114<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/etzer_6114.htm">‘e·ṣer — 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/6113.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="6113"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="6113" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/6115.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="6115"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="6115" /></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>
