It is used in the context of presenting a challenge or a puzzle that requires insight or wisdom to solve. This term is often associated with the idea of testing one's understanding or cleverness.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, riddles were a common form of entertainment and intellectual challenge. They were used not only for amusement but also as a means of teaching and demonstrating wisdom. Riddles could serve as a test of intelligence and were often employed in royal courts and among wise men. The ability to solve riddles was seen as a sign of wisdom and insight.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>denominative verb from the same as <a href="/hebrew/2420.htm">chidah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to propound a riddle<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>propound (3), propounded (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> II.
