In biblical contexts, these terms are often associated with sheepfolds or protective walls that enclose and safeguard livestock or property. The concept of a "wall" or "enclosure" is symbolic of protection, separation, and security.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, walls and enclosures were vital for the protection of livestock and property. Shepherds would use stone walls or hedges to create sheepfolds, providing a safe space for their flocks during the night. These structures were essential in a pastoral society where livestock represented wealth and sustenance. The imagery of walls and enclosures also carried spiritual significance, symbolizing God's protection and the boundaries of His covenant with Israel.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive
