What it means

a tree (from its firmness); hence, wood (plural sticks)

from H6095 (עָצָה);

How the KJV renders it

gallows, helve, plank, staff, stalk, stick, stock, timber, tree, wood

Where that flattens a distinction

The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.

Questions this word decides

• Is the seventh-day Sabbath binding on Gentiles?
• Will there be a literal thousand-year reign (the millennium)?
• Is tithing required for Christians?
• What does Malachi 3:10 mean about the tithe?
