It is used to describe the act of going forth or the place from which something emerges. In a broader sense, it can also refer to the origin or source of something, whether it be physical, such as a spring of water, or metaphorical, such as the source of wisdom or counsel.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of "going forth" or "emerging" was significant in both physical and spiritual contexts. Springs and rivers were vital for survival in the arid regions of the Near East, making the idea of an "outlet" or "source" a powerful metaphor for life and sustenance. Spiritually, the source of wisdom and guidance was highly valued, often associated with divine revelation or the teachings of the wise.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/3289.htm">yaats</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>counsel, plan, principle, device<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>counsels (3), devices (4).<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">מוֺעֵצָה</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>counsel, plan, principle, device</b></font>;
