It is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the physical bones of humans and animals, often symbolizing strength, structure, and the essence of life. In some contexts, it can also imply the idea of being stripped or bare, reflecting its root meaning.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, bones were considered the framework of the body, essential for life and strength. They were often associated with the core of one's being and were sometimes used metaphorically to represent the inner self or the essence of a person. The preservation of bones was important in burial practices, reflecting beliefs about the afterlife and the hope of resurrection. Bones also held symbolic significance in rituals and were sometimes used in covenant-making ceremonies.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/1633.htm">garam</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a bone, strength<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>bare (1), bone (1), bones (1), limbs (1), strong (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">גֶּ֫רֶם</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>bone, strength, self</b></font> (?)
