It can also denote the midst or middle part of something. In the context of the Bible, it is often used to describe the physical back of a person or the central part of an object or location.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the body was often used metaphorically to describe various aspects of life and spirituality. The back, or "gav," could symbolize strength, burden-bearing, or vulnerability. Understanding the physical and metaphorical uses of body parts in Hebrew thought can provide deeper insight into biblical texts.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span
