Going forth, source, exit; a spring of water, boundary endpoint, utterance, or place of origin
A noun derived from the root yatsa' ('to go out'), encompassing everything that issues forth from a source. It designates literal springs and water sources (2 Kgs 2:21), the terminal points of tribal boundaries (Num 33:2), words that proceed from the mouth (Deut 8:3), and the act of going forth itself — including the messianic 'goings forth' of Micah 5:2. Hosea 6:3 compares God's appearing to the dawn 'going forth,' while the sun's rising is its motsa' in Ps 19:6. The word's versatility mirrors the richness of its parent verb, applying the concept of emergence to geography, speech, time, and even sanitation.
5. sense 5 — The east as the place of the sun's 'going forth.' Ps 75:6 states that exaltation comes neither from east (motsa') nor west. Spanish 'de oriente' makes the directional sense explicit. This specialized geographic use derives naturally from sense 4 (sunrise as going forth) but is lexicalized as a compass direction. 1×

1. spring or source of water — A spring, fountain, or source of water — the place where water 'goes forth' from the ground. Ps 107:33-35 contrasts turning springs into desert and desert into springs. Spanish 'manantial' and 'salida de' both capture the issuing-forth of water. Job 28:1 extends the image to a mine, the place from which silver 'comes forth,' broadening source to include mineral origin. 8×

2. exit or boundary endpoint — The exit point or terminus of a geographic boundary, used in territorial descriptions. Num 33:2 twice records Israel's 'starting points' and stages; Ezek 42:11 describes the exits of temple chambers. Spanish 'salidas de' and French 'de sortie' consistently render the spatial endpoint sense. This cartographic usage is concentrated in Numbers, Joshua, and Ezekiel. 7×

3. utterance from the mouth — That which goes out of the mouth: a spoken word, vow, or divine utterance. Deut 8:3 declares that man lives by every motsa' of God's mouth — a verse Jesus later quotes in his wilderness temptation. Num 30:12 applies it to the binding force of a vow. Spanish 'lo que sale de' ('that which comes from') preserves the concrete image of speech as something physically emerging. 5×

4. going forth or departure — The act of going forth or emerging, whether of persons, the sun, or prophetic decree. Ps 19:6 describes the sun's 'going forth' from one end of heaven. Dan 9:25 marks history from the 'going forth' of a decree to rebuild Jerusalem. Hos 6:3 likens God's advent to the dawn's emergence. Spanish 'salida' serves for both sunrise and personal departure, mirroring the Hebrew breadth. 5×

6. sense 6 — Vegetation or growth that 'comes forth' from the earth. Job 38:27 asks who causes the 'growth' of tender grass to spring up. Spanish 'brote de' ('sprout of') and French 'sortie' reflect emergence from soil. This botanical extension of 'going forth' is a hapax usage within the lemma's distribution, applying the root metaphor to germination. 1×

7. sense 7 — A latrine or privy — the place one 'goes out to' for bodily relief. 2 Kgs 10:27 records that Jehu's men demolished the temple of Baal and made it a motsa'oth (latrine). Arabic 'marahid' and Spanish 'letrinas' confirm the euphemistic concreteness. This coarse but vivid usage exploits the root's sense of 'going out' in its most physical application. 1×
