The Hebrew Word

נִצָּבִים [nitzav - Strong's #5324] is a primitive root word that means "to set" or "to station" (like a guard or defense).  The Tanakh uses this word 79 times in 73 verses.

 

First use in Scripture

The first time nitzav is used in Scripture is in Genesis 18.

When he lifted up his eyes and looked, behold, three men were standing opposite him; and when he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them and bowed himself to the earth, (Genesis 18:2)

 

Last use in Scripture

The last time nitzav is used in Scripture is in Zechariah 11.

"For behold, I am going to raise up a shepherd in the land who will not care for the perishing, seek the scattered, heal the broken, or sustain the one standing, but will devour the flesh of the fat sheep and tear off their hoofs.  (Zechariah 11:16)
