In the biblical context, it is often used metaphorically to describe preparedness for battle or the readiness of a warrior. The quiver is an essential part of a warrior's equipment, symbolizing strength and readiness.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, archery was a significant aspect of warfare. A quiver, typically made from leather or wood, was an indispensable tool for an archer, allowing for quick access to arrows during battle. The imagery of a quiver full of arrows is used in the Bible to convey the idea of being well-prepared and equipped, often symbolizing children or descendants as a source of strength and defense for a family or nation.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain derivation<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a quiver (for arrows)<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>quiver (6).<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">אַשְׁמָּה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>quiver for arrows</b></font> (Assyrian <i><em>išpatu</em></i> Dl<sup>K 29</sup>) <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">א</font> literal as part of warlike equipment <a href="/interlinear/job/39-23.htm">Job 39:23</a>;
