Strong's Lexicon yesudah: Foundation Original Word: יְסוּדָה Word Origin: Derived from the root יָסַד (yasad), meaning "to establish" or "to found." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and the New Testament is θεμέλιος (themelios), which also means "foundation." This term appears in passages like 1 Corinthians 3:11, "For no one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ." Usage: The term "yesudah" refers to a foundation or a base upon which something is built. In the biblical context, it often signifies the physical foundation of a building, such as a temple or a city wall. Metaphorically, it can also imply the foundational principles or truths upon which faith or life is established. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of a foundation was crucial for both physical structures and spiritual life. The foundation of a building determined its stability and longevity. Similarly, the spiritual foundation of a community or individual was seen as essential for enduring faithfulness to God. The construction of the temple in Jerusalem, with its carefully laid foundations, symbolized the centrality of worship and the presence of God among His people.
