H8444 noun

SILEX Entry

Definition

(collective plural) A going out, outcoming, or proceeding—refers to points of departure, sources, boundaries, or that which emerges or is produced. The primary lexical meaning is the act or product of going out, but the term is used contextually for geographic boundaries (as extremities, exits, frontiers), physical sources (e.g., springs), or metaphorical outgoings (such as outcomes of actions or expressions).

Semantic Range

boundary, border, geographical extremity, point of exit, source (e.g., of water), result, outcome, emergence, circuit (of celestial bodies)

Root / Etymology

The noun תּוֹצָאָה derives from the root יָצָא (י-צ-א), meaning 'to go out, depart, come out'. The form is a feminine noun of action/result, with the 'ת' forming (prefixed) a participial or resultive noun pattern. Its core idea is 'what emerges from a going out'.

Historical & Contextual Notes

In the Hebrew Bible, תּוֹצָאָה occurs primarily in the plural (תוֹצָאוֹת), often in geographical contexts to mark the extremities or boundaries ('outgoings') of a territory or city (Joshua 15:7; 18:12, 14–15, etc.). It can also refer to the sources or outlets of natural features, such as springs of water (Joshua 15:9; 18:16). In poetic or wisdom literature (Psalm 19:7 [Eng 19:6]), it refers metaphorically to the circuit or the points of rising and setting of the sun. Rarely, it extends to the idea of 'results' or 'outcomes' of actions or speech (cf. Proverbs 4:23: 'out of it are the outgoings of life'). Standard English translations render this word variously as 'borders', 'outgoings', 'ends', 'sources', but these often mask the slightly broader sense of emergence, extremity, or outcome present in the Hebrew. Distinct from יציאה (yetsi’ah), which is generally used for the act of going out or departure, תּוֹצָאָה focuses on the result or place of going out. In later Hebrew, the term developed senses related to products, results, or outcomes, especially in abstract or figurative usage.

Original Strong's Gloss (1890)

or תֹּצָאָה; from יָצָא; (only in plural collective) exit, i.e. (geographical) boundary, or (figuratively) deliverance, (actively) source; border(-s), going(-s) forth (out), issues, outgoings.
