The Mystery in the Hebrew Word ‘Tzavaot’

Adonai-Tzva’ot is a name for God that translates to “Lord of Hosts” in English, and literally means “Lord of armies” in Hebrew. The word Tza-va (צבא) means “army”, and the plural Tza-va-ot (צבאות) means “multiple armies”. 

The name Adonai-Tzva’ot appears 235 times in the Bible, but it’s not often used and never appears in the Torah. It refers to God’s sovereignty and leadership.

The word Adonai is the plural of the Hebrew word Adon, which means “lord” or “master”. It was first used as a title for God before it became His name. The plural and capitalized form of Adonai is used because God is believed to be the “lord of all lords”. 

Adonai Tzva’ot, the “Lord of Hosts” is one of the names of God, used 235 times in the Bible. The first time it appears is in the story of Hannah and her husband Elkanah, in Hannah’s struggle with barrenness. Hannah is the first person to call God by this name. The literal meaning in Hebrew is “Lord of armies”:  Tza-va (צבא) is the word for army – and what today refers to the Israeli Defence Force. Tza-va-ot (צבאות) is the plural. Multiple armies. But is it necessarily a military word? What does it mean, when we call God “Lord of Armies”?
