Strong's is an index and starting point, not the final meaning of a word. Do not build doctrine from a gloss, root, or number. Test meaning by sentence, grammar, authorial usage, context, and the passage argument.
[אֲסֻפָּה] noun feminine collection (compare Phoenician אספת assembly) only בַּעֲלֵי אֲסֻפּוֺת Eccl 12:11 ( דִּבְרֵי חֲכָמִים) compared to driven nails; members of learned assemblies Thes MV and others; so Post-Biblical Hebrew NHWBi. 127; but Hi- Now and others refer to the wise utterances, called lords (possessors) of collection because of their well-connected grouping.
