It is also used metaphorically to signify the essence or core of something, indicating strength, firmness, or the very substance of a matter. In the Hebrew Bible, "etsem" is often used to describe the physical bones of humans and animals, as well as to convey the idea of strength and resilience.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, bones were considered the framework of the body, symbolizing strength and endurance. The preservation of bones was important in burial practices, reflecting beliefs about the afterlife and the hope of resurrection. The metaphorical use of "etsem" to denote essence or core reflects the cultural understanding of bones as the fundamental structure of life.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/6105.htm">atsom</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"bone," a place in the Negev of Judah<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Ezem (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> II. <font class="hebrew2">עֶ֫צֶם</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, of a location</b></font> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Ασομ</font>, etc., in Negeb of Judah, <font class="hebrew2">עָ֑צֶם</font> <a href="/interlinear/joshua/15-29.htm">Joshua 15:29</a>, Simeon <a href="/interlinear/joshua/19-3.htm">Joshua 19:3</a>;
