It is used in the context of geographical features, often describing elevated places that are devoid of trees or significant vegetation. These locations are typically associated with visibility and prominence in the landscape.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, hills and high places held significant cultural and religious importance. They were often sites for altars and worship, both for the worship of Yahweh and for pagan practices. The visibility and elevation of these sites made them ideal for religious observances, as they were thought to be closer to the divine. The term "shephi" would have been understood by the Israelites as a reference to these prominent geographical features.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/8192.htm">shaphah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>bareness, a smooth or bare height<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>bare heights (8), bare hill (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> I. <font class="hebrew2">שְׁפִי</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>bareness, smooth or bare</b></font> (treeless) height; — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>1</b></font> <em>bareness</em>, <a href="/interlinear/job/33-21.htm">Job 33:21</a> Kt (see √) <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>2</b></font> <em>bare place, height:</em> <font class="hebrew2">שֶׁ֑פִי</font> <a href="/interlinear/numbers/23-3.htm">Numbers 23:3</a> (E), i.e. an outlook-point; plural <font class="hebrew2">שְׁפָיִים</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/41-18.htm">Isaiah 41:18</a>; <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/49-9.htm">Isaiah 49:9</a>; <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/3-21.htm">Jeremiah 3:21</a>, <font class="hebrew2">שְׁפָיִם</font> <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/3-2.htm">Jeremiah 3:2</a>; <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/4.htm">Jeremiah 4</a>:("" <font class="hebrew2">מִדְבָּר</font>), <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/7-29.htm">Jeremiah 7:29</a>; <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/12-12.htm">Jeremiah 12:12</a> (<font class="hebrew2">בַּמִּדְבָּד</font>), <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/14-6.htm">Jeremiah 14:6</a>. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>high place, stick out <p>From <a href="/hebrew/8192.htm">shaphah</a>; bareness; concretely, a bare hill or plain -- high place, stick out. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/8192.htm">shaphah</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>וְשֻׁפּ֥וּ ושפו שְׁפָיִ֔ם שְׁפָיִ֖ים שְׁפָיִ֖ם שְׁפָיִ֜ם שְׁפָיִ֣ים שְׁפָיִ֣ם שְׁפָיִים֙ שֶֽׁפִי׃ שפי׃ שפיים שפים šə·p̄ā·yim šə·p̄ā·yîm še·p̄î šəp̄āyim šəp̄āyîm šep̄î shefaYim Shefi veshupPu wə·šup·pū wəšuppū<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/numbers/23-3.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Numbers 23:3</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/numbers/23.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">לָ֑ךְ וַיֵּ֖לֶךְ <b> שֶֽׁפִי׃ </b> </span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/numbers/23.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> you.
