It can also denote a form of communication, whether it be a complaint, a conversation, or a thoughtful discourse. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, "siach" is used to describe both internal reflection and external expression, often in relation to one's thoughts or prayers directed towards God.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, meditation was not merely a silent or passive activity but involved active engagement with one's thoughts and emotions, often expressed through spoken words or prayers. The practice of meditation was integral to spiritual life, serving as a means to connect with God, seek wisdom, and express one's innermost feelings. The Psalms, in particular, reflect this tradition of using "siach" as a way to articulate personal struggles, joys, and reflections before God.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from an unused word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a bush, shrub, plant<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>bushes (3), shrub (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">שִׂיחַ</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>bush, shrub, plant</b></font>;
