- Officials001001003007
- This entry carries no independent “Officials” sense of its own; every tagged occurrence is the noun for a garrison or military post, as in “Then David put garrisons among the Arameans of Damascus” (2 Samuel 8:6). The “Officials” domain is bundle-shared with the related lexeme נְצִיב (Nᵉtsîyb, H5334) rather than independently attested here.
- Groups001001003004
- The word's use for a garrison ties it to an organized body of stationed men, as the Philistine garrison at Geba and Michmash is repeatedly named (1 Samuel 13:3-4), tying the word to this collective military unit.
- Soldiers001001003013
- The word's garrison sense also ties it to the armed men who staff such an outpost, as David stations garrisons among the defeated Arameans (2 Samuel 8:6), tying the word to soldiers holding a position.
- Names of Locations003001010
- The word can also denote a standing pillar marking a specific place, as Lot's wife becomes a pillar of salt (Genesis 19:26), a fixed-location sense distinct from its personnel senses.
