It is often used in contexts where an individual or animal is reclining or stretching out, typically in a state of rest or repose. The term can also imply a sense of security and peace, as lying down often suggests a cessation of activity and a state of relaxation.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the act of lying down was not only a physical posture but also a metaphor for peace and security. In a nomadic or agrarian society, the ability to lie down without fear was a sign of safety and divine blessing. The imagery of lying down is frequently used in the Hebrew Bible to convey God's provision and protection, as well as the peace that comes from trusting in Him.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to lie stretched out, lie down<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>breed together (1), lying down (1), mate (2).<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">רָבַע</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>lie stretched out, lie down</b></font> (Aramaic form of <font class="hebrew2">רָבַץ</font> (q. v.);
