It conveys the idea of a place from which something flows or originates, emphasizing the concept of life-giving sustenance and refreshment.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern context, water sources such as springs and fountains were vital for survival, agriculture, and settlement. They were often seen as blessings from God, providing the necessary resources for life in arid regions. The imagery of a spring or fountain is frequently used in biblical literature to symbolize purity, life, and divine provision.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/3564b.htm">kur</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>origin<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>origin (3).<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">מְכֹרָה</font>, <font class="hebrew2">מְכוּרָה</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>origin</b></font> (i.e. <em>place of digging</em> out?) — singular suffix <font class="hebrew2">אֶרֶץ מְכוּרָתָם</font> <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/29-14.htm">Ezekiel 29:14</a>;
