Language & etymology
What the name means.
Tsur is the Hebrew noun “rock.” Scripture uses it as a metaphor for God’s strength and dependable refuge; the metaphor, not a speculative root derivation, grounds this reflection.
Gematria
The numeric value.
Tsadi 90 + Vav 6 + Resh 200 = 296
Numeric value is a traditional interpretive practice; it is not the word’s etymology and does not establish doctrine.
Paleo-Hebrew character
A devotional reflection.
These ancient Hebrew-script forms accompany a devotional meditation, not a historical translation or proof of etymology. Letter-picture associations are interpretive and do not establish doctrine.
