In the Biblical context, it symbolizes something that is fragile, transient, or easily destroyed.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient times, flax was a significant crop in the Near East, used for making linen. The process of preparing flax involved separating the fibers, known as "tow," from the rest of the plant. These fibers were essential for textile production but were also known for their flammability. The imagery of "tow" in the Bible often conveys the idea of something that is insubstantial or easily consumed, reflecting the transient nature of human endeavors without divine support.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/5287.htm">naar</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>tow (for making thread)<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>tinder (1), tow (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">נְעֹ֫רֶת</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>tow</b></font> (as <em>shaken off</em> from the flax when beaten;
