Usage
The Hebrew word "tsela" primarily refers to a "rib" or "side." It is most famously used in the account of the creation of Eve, where God takes a "tsela" from Adam to form her (Genesis 2:21-22). The term can also refer to the side of a structure, such as the side chambers of the temple (1 Kings 6:5).
