It conveys the idea of something that is sent forth or projected, aligning with its root meaning of sending or dispatching. In a broader sense, it can symbolize warfare, defense, or aggression.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, weapons like spears and darts were essential for both hunting and warfare. They were crafted from materials such as wood and metal, and their design varied depending on the intended use. The spear, a common weapon in biblical times, was a symbol of a warrior's strength and skill. The use of such weapons was integral to the survival and defense of communities in the ancient world.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/7971.htm">shalach</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a desc. of Shem<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Shelah (9).<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> II. <font class="hebrew2">שֶׁ֫לַח</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>son of Arphachshad</b></font>, <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Σαλα</font>: <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">שׁ</font> <a href="/interlinear/genesis/10-24.htm">Genesis 10:24</a>; b <a href="/interlinear/genesis/11-13.htm">Genesis 11:13</a>,14,15; <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/1-18.htm">1 Chronicles 1:18</a> b; <font class="hebrew2">שָׁ֑לַח</font> <a href="/interlinear/genesis/10-24.htm">Genesis 10:24</a>; a <a href="/interlinear/genesis/11-12.htm">Genesis 11:12</a>; <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/1-18.htm">1 Chronicles 1:18</a>a <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/1-24.htm">1 Chronicles 1:24</a>. <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>Salah, Shelah <p>The same as <a href="/hebrew/7973.htm">shelach</a>; Shelach, a postdiluvian patriarch -- Salah, Shelah.
