It conveys the idea of a place or means of safety, where one can find respite from danger or harm.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of a shelter or covering was significant, both physically and spiritually. Physically, shelters provided protection from the harsh elements and potential threats. Spiritually, the idea of God as a refuge or covering is a recurring theme in the Hebrew Scriptures, symbolizing divine protection and care for His people. The Israelites often sought refuge in God during times of trouble, viewing Him as their ultimate shelter.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/7049b.htm">qala</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>carving<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>carved (1), carvings (1), engravings (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">מִקֶלַ֫עַת</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>carving</b></font>;
