In the Bible, it is often used metaphorically to describe something that is pliable, weak, or easily swayed. The imagery of a reed is used to convey ideas of fragility and instability, contrasting with strength and steadfastness.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, reeds were a common sight in the wetlands and along riverbanks. They were used for various practical purposes, such as making baskets, mats, and even writing materials like papyrus. The reed's flexibility and tendency to sway in the wind made it a powerful symbol for instability and weakness in biblical literature.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/98.htm">agam</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a rush, bulrush<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>bulrush (2), reed (1), rope (1), rushes (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">אַגְמֹן</font>, <font class="hebrew2">אַגְמוֺן</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>rush, bulrush</b></font>. <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>1</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>used as cord or line</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/job/40-26.htm">Job 40:26</a> (of twisted rushes, or spun of rush-fibre, compare Di on the passage); as fuel <a href="/interlinear/job/41-12.htm">Job 41:12</a>; simile of bending head <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/58-5.htm">Isaiah 58:5</a>. <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>2</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>metaphor of the lowly, insignif</b></font>.
