It is used in the context of calling or summoning, often with a connotation of attracting attention or signaling. In some instances, it can also imply a derisive or scornful hissing.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, whistling or hissing was a common method of communication, especially for shepherds calling their flocks or for signaling across distances. It was a practical means of non-verbal communication in a time before modern technology. In the biblical context, "sharaq" can also carry a metaphorical meaning, such as God summoning nations or peoples for a specific purpose.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span
