It is often used in the context of spreading out a garment, a tent, or even metaphorically to describe the spreading out of a nation or people. The term conveys the idea of extension and expansion, whether physically or metaphorically.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the act of spreading out a tent or garment was a common daily activity, reflecting the nomadic lifestyle of many biblical characters. Tents were essential for shelter and were often spread out or pitched in various locations as people moved. The concept of spreading out also had symbolic significance, representing growth, prosperity, and the fulfillment of God's promises to His people, such as the expansion of territory or influence.<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 spread, spread abroad<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>enlarges (1), scattered (1), spread (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">שָׁטַח</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>spread, spread abroad</b></font> (Late Hebrew <em>id.</em>;
