It is used in the context of sealing documents, letters, or decrees, often to signify authenticity, authority, or finality. The act of sealing can also imply protection or preservation, as a seal would prevent tampering or unauthorized access.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, sealing was a common practice for securing documents and ensuring their authenticity. Seals were often made of clay or wax and impressed with a signet ring or cylinder seal bearing the owner's unique mark. This practice was not only a means of protection but also a symbol of authority and ownership. In biblical times, sealing was significant in legal, commercial, and personal contexts, reflecting the importance of trust and integrity in societal transactions.<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 hold in, restrain<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>restrain (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">חָטַם</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>hold in, restrain</b></font> (Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb031012.gif"> <em>strike the nose, attach the</em> <img src="/bdbgif/bdb031013.gif"> = <em>camel-halter</em>, <img src="/bdbgif/bdb031014.gif"> noun <em>muzzle, nose of beast</em>;
