SIBI-P1 H6635-17

his mustered host

Rootצבא (ts-b-ʾ)
Core Meaningsto wage war, to muster, organized service, host, army, appointed service
Semantic Rangearmy, host, military force, organized company, campaign, service, appointed duty, heavenly host
Conceptual Significanceצָבָא expresses the concept of ordered, purposeful assembly—whether earthly armies, heavenly hosts, or structured service to YHWH. It underscores divine sovereignty over both celestial and earthly forces and frames history and worship as operating under appointed order.
Morphological NotesHebrew noun, common gender, singular construct (צְבָא) with 3ms pronominal suffix (וֹ) — "his." The construct form links the noun to its possessive suffix.
Rendering RationaleThe noun צָבָא denotes an organized, assembled body—often for warfare or formal service. Rendering it "his mustered host" preserves the core idea of a gathered, ordered force and reflects the singular construct form with the 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix ("his").
