It is used in the context of clothing, particularly the flowing parts of robes or garments that hang down. In biblical texts, it can symbolize authority, dignity, or the presence of God, as seen in the imagery of divine robes.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern culture, the hem or fringe of a garment held significant meaning. It often represented the identity and authority of the wearer. In Israelite society, the hem of a garment could be adorned with tassels (tzitzit) as a reminder of the commandments (Numbers 15:38-39). The concept of the "train" of a robe, especially in a royal or divine context, conveyed majesty and splendor.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word
