===Tzevaot===
{{For|the Gnostic deity|Sabaoth (Gnosticism)}}
Tzevaot, Tzevaoth, Tsebaoth or Sabaoth ({{lang|he|צבאות}}, {{transliteration|he|ṣəḇāʾōṯ}}, {{IPA|he|tsvaot|pron|He-YhwhTzevaot.ogg}}, {{abbr|lit.|literally}}&nbsp;"Armies"), usually translated "Hosts", appears in reference to armies or armed hosts of men but is not used as a divine epithet in the [[Torah]], [[Book of Joshua|Joshua]], or [[Book of Judges|Judges]]. Starting in the [[Books of Samuel]], the term "Lord of Hosts" appears hundreds of times throughout the [[Nevi'im|Prophetic books]], in [[Psalms]], and in [[Books of Chronicles|Chronicles]].

The Hebrew word {{transliteration|he|Sabaoth}} was also absorbed in [[Ancient Greek]] ({{lang|grc|σαβαωθ}}, {{transliteration|grc|sabaōth}}) and [[Latin]] ({{lang|la|Sabaoth}}, with no declension). [[Tertullian]] and other [[Fathers of the Church]] used it with the meaning of "Army of angels of God".<ref>[[Karl Ernst Georges|Georges]], O. Badellini, F.
