Sabaoth

What Bible dictionaries say about “Sabaoth”, one article after the other.

Easton’s Bible Dictionary & Webster’s 1828 Dictionary

Sabaoth - (Easton's Bible Dictionary)

The transliteration of the Hebrew word tsebha'oth, meaning "hosts," "armies" (Rom. 9:29; James 5:4). In the LXX. the Hebrew word is rendered by "Almighty." (See Rev. 4:8; comp. Isa. 6:3.) It may designate Jehovah as either (1) God of the armies of earth, or (2) God of the armies of the stars, or (3) God of the unseen armies of angels; or perhaps it may include all these ideas.

SABAOTH, n. Armies; a word used, Rom 9:29, James 5:4, the Lord of Sabaoth.
