Definition

Qatseh (H7097) means the extreme end or outer edge β€” the ends of the earth, the border of a land, the tip of a staff. It is the word used in some of the most sweeping biblical promises about God's reach and rule extending to every qatseh of the earth.

Usage & Theological Significance

Psalm 46:9, Isaiah 40:28, and Isaiah 45:22 all invoke the ends of the earth as the scope of God's salvation and sovereignty. 'Turn to me and be saved, all you ends [qatseh] of the earth!' (Isaiah 45:22) is one of the most universal invitations in the Old Testament. The word pictures a God whose reach leaves no corner of creation uncovered by His love and command.
