It is used in the context of defining the limits of a particular area, often in relation to the land allotted to the tribes of Israel. The concept of boundaries is significant in the Hebrew Bible, as it relates to the division of the Promised Land among the tribes and the establishment of order and identity within the nation of Israel.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, boundaries were crucial for defining tribal territories and ensuring the fair distribution of land, which was considered a divine inheritance. The establishment of boundaries was not only a practical matter but also a spiritual one, as it reflected God's covenant promises to the patriarchs. The delineation of land was often marked by natural landmarks or constructed markers, and maintaining these boundaries was essential for peace and justice within the community.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/1366.htm">gebul</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>twisted things, i.e. cords<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>twisted (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">מִגְבָּלֹת</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine plural</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>the twisted</b></font>, i.e. cords <a href="/interlinear/exodus/28-14.htm">Exodus 28:14</a> compare Di (appositive <font class="hebrew2">שַׁרְשְׁרֹת זָהָב</font>, "" <font class="hebrew2">הָעֲבֹתֹת</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">שׁ</font>). <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>end <p>From <a href="/hebrew/1379.htm">gabal</a>; a border -- end. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/1379.htm">gabal</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>מִגְבָּלֹ֛ת מגבלת miḡ·bā·lōṯ migbaLot miḡbālōṯ<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/exodus/28-14.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Exodus 28:14</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/exodus/28.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">זָהָ֣ב טָה֔וֹר <b> מִגְבָּלֹ֛ת </b> תַּעֲשֶׂ֥ה אֹתָ֖ם</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/exodus/28.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> you shall make <span class="itali">them of twisted</span> cordage<br><a href="/kjvs/exodus/28.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> gold <span class="itali">at the ends;</span> [of] wreathen<br><a href="/interlinear/exodus/28-14.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> gold of pure <span class="itali">of twisted</span> shall make work<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4020.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4020.htm">Strong's Hebrew 4020<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/migbalot_4020.htm">miḡ·bā·lōṯ — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/4019.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="4019"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="4019" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/4021.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="4021"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="4021" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
