H5333 H5333
A garrison, military outpost; also a governor or appointed official; rarely, a standing pillar or column.
Netsiv spans the military, the administrative, and the monumental. Most frequently it denotes a garrison or military outpost—the Philistine installations that provoked Jonathan's bold strike (1 Sam 13:3-4) and the garrisons David stationed throughout Edom and Aram (2 Sam 8:6, 14). The same root yields the sense of an appointed governor or overseer, as in Solomon's administrative prefects (1 Kgs 4:19, 2 Chr 8:10). In one memorable occurrence, it describes the pillar of salt that was Lot's wife (Gen 19:26)—a standing monument to judgment.
Senses
1. garrison, military outpost — A military garrison or outpost stationed for territorial control. Spanish 'guarniciones' and French 'garnison' consistently render this dominant sense. The Philistine garrisons at Geba and elsewhere (1 Sam 10:5, 13:3-4) represent foreign occupation; David's garrisons in Aram and Edom (2 Sam 8:6, 14) mark Israelite dominion. The word implies not just soldiers but a permanent installation of authority. 9×

2. governor, overseer, appointed official — An appointed governor, prefect, or administrative overseer placed in charge of a region. First Kings 4:19 names a single governor over Gilead, while 2 Chronicles 8:10 counts Solomon's chief officers. Spanish 'gobernador/oficiales' and French 'gouverneur' distinguish this from the military sense—the emphasis falls on administrative authority rather than armed presence. 2×

3. pillar, standing stone — A standing pillar or column, a physical upright structure. Genesis 19:26 uses netsiv for the pillar of salt Lot's wife became—Spanish 'columna de,' French 'colonne de,' and German 'Salzsäule' all render it as a monument or column. This concrete, inanimate sense stands apart from the human/institutional meanings, preserving the root idea of something 'stationed' or set upright. 1×
