However, the concept of variegation or diversity can be found in Greek words related to color or appearance, such as ποικίλος (poikilos), meaning "varied" or "diverse."<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The Hebrew word "tsabua" is used to describe something that is variegated or speckled, often referring to animals with multicolored coats. It conveys the idea of something that is not uniform in color, but rather has a diverse or mixed appearance.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, animals with unique or distinct markings were often noted for their rarity and beauty. The concept of being "speckled" or "variegated" could also carry symbolic meanings, such as diversity or the idea of being set apart. In a broader cultural context, the appearance of animals and their markings could be associated with various beliefs or superstitions.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/6648.htm">tseba</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>colored, variegated<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>speckled (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">צָבוּעַ</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>adjective</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>coloured, variegated</b></font> (properly passive participle);
