Word of the Day: Catachrestical
Sabaoth
Watson's Biblical & Theological Dictionary
or rather Zabaoth, a Hebrew word, signifying _hosts_ or _armies_, יהוה צבאות, _Jehovah Sabaoth, The Lord of Hosts_. By this phrase we may understand the host of heaven, or the angels and ministers of the Lord; or the stars and planets, which, as an army ranged in battle array, perform the will of God; or, lastly, the people of the Lord, both of the old and new covenant, which is truly a great army, of which God is the Lord and commander.
