It is used metaphorically to describe spiritual desolation or barrenness.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near East, water was a precious resource, and droughts were a significant threat to survival. The Israelites, living in a largely arid region, understood drought as a severe trial and often interpreted it as a sign of divine displeasure or judgment. The concept of drought was not only a physical reality but also carried spiritual connotations, representing times of testing or spiritual dryness.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain derivation<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>an overseer of Nethinim, also an Isr. family<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Ziha (3).<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">צִיחָא</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>an overseer of Nethinim</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/nehemiah/11-21.htm">Nehemiah 11:21</a>, who are called <font class="hebrew2">בְּנֵי צִיחָא</font> <a href="/interlinear/ezra/2-43.htm">Ezra 2:43</a> = <font class="hebrew2">צִחָא בְּנֵי</font> <a href="/interlinear/nehemiah/7-46.htm">Nehemiah 7:46</a>;
