It conveys the idea of strength, stability, and permanence. In the biblical context, "sela" is frequently used metaphorically to describe God as a refuge and source of protection for His people.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near East, rocks and cliffs were significant geographical features that provided natural fortresses and places of refuge. They were often associated with safety and security, especially in the arid and mountainous regions of Israel. The imagery of God as a "rock" would have resonated deeply with the Israelites, who understood the protective and enduring nature of such formations.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive
