It conveys a sense of instability and lack of control, both physically and metaphorically. In the biblical context, it can refer to the effects of divine judgment or the consequences of sinful behavior leading to a state of disorientation.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, drunkenness was often used metaphorically to describe spiritual or moral confusion. The imagery of staggering or reeling was a vivid way to depict the consequences of turning away from God's commandments. This concept was not only a physical description but also a spiritual metaphor for the chaos and disorder that result from sin and disobedience.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/7477.htm">raal</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a reeling<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>reeling (2), stagger (1).<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">תַּרְעֵלָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>reeling</b></font> (compare <font class="hebrew2">רֵ֫עַל</font>);
