It can also refer to a spindle, an instrument used in spinning, which reflects the word's root meaning of something round or circular.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, land was often divided into districts or regions for administrative and tribal purposes. These divisions were important for governance, resource allocation, and tribal identity. The use of "pelek" to describe a spindle also highlights the agrarian and domestic life of ancient Israel, where spinning was a common household task.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive
