It can also denote a host or multitude, and by extension, it is used to describe the celestial bodies as the "host of heaven." In a broader sense, it can imply service or labor, particularly in a military or religious context.<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 organization and structure of ancient Near Eastern societies, where military service was a key aspect of citizenship and duty. Additionally, the "host of heaven" reflects the ancient understanding of the stars and celestial bodies as ordered and governed by God.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) corresponding to the unused source of <a href="/hebrew/6648.htm">tseba</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to dip, wet<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>drenched (5).<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.
