It can also denote a host of heavenly bodies, such as stars or angels, emphasizing order and structure. In some contexts, it refers to the service or duty performed by such a group, whether in a military or religious setting.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, the concept of "tseba" was integral to both military and religious life. The Israelites often viewed their battles as divinely ordained, with God as the commander of their armies. The term also reflects the broader Ancient Near Eastern understanding of cosmic order, where celestial bodies and divine beings were seen as part of a heavenly host under God's command. This reflects the belief in a structured universe governed by divine authority.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/6633.htm">tsaba</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to be inclined, desire, be pleased<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>desired (1), will (1), wished (4), wishes (4).<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">צְבָא</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>be inclined, desire, be pleased</b></font> (<font class="hebrew2">ᵑ7</font> Syriac;
