It is used to describe physical movement that is quick and lively, suggesting a sense of vitality and enthusiasm.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, physical agility and strength were highly valued, especially in contexts such as warfare, hunting, and shepherding. The ability to leap or spring effectively could be crucial for survival and success in these activities. The imagery of leaping is also used metaphorically in Hebrew poetry and literature to convey joy, freedom, and divine empowerment.<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 watch (stealthily)<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>look with envy (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">רָצַד</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb Pi`el</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>watch stealthily, or with envious hostility</b></font> (Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb095212.gif"> <em>watch</em> or <em>wait</em> (often <em>lie in wait</em>) <em>for</em>;
