It is used in the context of describing the human body, often emphasizing its physicality and mortality. The term can denote both living bodies and dead bodies, depending on the context.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the body was seen as an integral part of human identity, created by God and inherently good. The physical body was not viewed in opposition to the spirit but as a vessel through which humans interact with the world. The concept of the body was closely tied to ideas of purity, ritual cleanliness, and the sanctity of life. In the context of death, the treatment of the body was of significant importance, with burial practices reflecting beliefs about the afterlife and respect for the deceased.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to shut, close<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>shut (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">גּוּף</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>shut, close</b></font> (Late Hebrew <em>id.</em>, see NHWB<sup>i. 314, 352</sup>) — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Hiph`il</b></font> <em>Imperfect</em> jussive <font class="hebrew2">יָגִ֫יפוּ</font> <a href="/interlinear/nehemiah/7-3.htm">Nehemiah 7:3</a> <em>close</em> (door, <font class="hebrew2">דלתות</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>shut <p>A primitive root; properly, to hollow or arch, i.e. (figuratively) close; to shut -- shut. <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>יָגִ֥יפוּ יגיפו yā·ḡî·p̄ū yaGifu yāḡîp̄ū<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/nehemiah/7-3.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Nehemiah 7:3</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/nehemiah/7.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">הֵ֥ם עֹמְדִ֛ים <b> יָגִ֥יפוּ </b> הַדְּלָת֖וֹת וֶאֱחֹ֑זוּ</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/nehemiah/7.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> they are standing <span class="itali">[guard], let them shut</span> and bolt<br><a href="/kjvs/nehemiah/7.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> and while they stand by, <span class="itali">let them shut</span> the doors,<br><a href="/interlinear/nehemiah/7-3.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> they are standing <span class="itali">shut</span> the doors and bolt<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1479.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1479.htm">Strong's Hebrew 1479<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/yagifu_1479.htm">yā·ḡî·p̄ū — 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/1478.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="1478"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="1478" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/1480.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="1480"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="1480" /></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>
