In a literal sense, it denotes the navel of the human body, symbolizing the center or core. Figuratively, it can also refer to the central or most important part of a region or object, emphasizing its significance or centrality.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the navel was often seen as a symbol of life and connection, particularly in relation to birth and nourishment. The navel, being centrally located on the body, was metaphorically used to describe the center of the earth or a region, highlighting its importance. In biblical times, the concept of centrality was significant in understanding the geography and spiritual symbolism of Israel and its surrounding nations.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain derivation<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>highest part, center<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>center (1), highest part (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">טַבּוּר</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>highest part, centre</b></font> (according to <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <font class="hebrew2">ᵑ9</font> <em>navel</em>, so Late Hebrew <em>id.</em>, and <font class="hebrew2">טִיבּוּר</font>, Aramaic <font class="hebrew2">טִיבּוּרָא</font>, <font class="hebrew2">טִיבּוּרְיָא</font>) — <font class="hebrew2">הִנֵּה עָם יֹרְדִים מֵעִם טַבּוּר הארץ</font> <a href="/interlinear/judges/9-37.htm">Judges 9:37</a> <em>behold people descending from the highest part of the land</em>;
