It conveys the idea of surrounding something or someone with a crown or a protective barrier. This term is often used metaphorically to describe honor, blessing, or protection bestowed upon an individual or group.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, a crown was a symbol of authority, honor, and divine favor. Kings and priests were often crowned as a sign of their God-given roles and responsibilities. The act of crowning was not only a physical adornment but also a spiritual and social acknowledgment of one's position and the blessings associated with it. The concept of being encircled or surrounded also carried connotations of protection and care, reflecting the communal and covenantal nature of Israelite society.<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">עָטַר</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>surround</b></font> (Late Hebrew <em>id.</em>, and derivatives;
