This term appears in various contexts throughout the Scriptures, illustrating both physical and metaphorical encirclement. <br><br>1. <b>Physical Encirclement</b>: In many instances, "compassed" refers to the physical act of surrounding. For example, in <a href="/joshua/6-11.htm">Joshua 6:11</a> , the Israelites compassed the city of Jericho as part of God's strategy to deliver the city into their hands: "So he had the ark of the LORD circle the city, going around it once. Then they returned to the camp and spent the night there." This act of compassing was a demonstration of obedience to God's command and a precursor to the miraculous fall of Jericho's walls.<br><br>2. <b>Divine Protection</b>: The term is also used to describe God's protective presence around His people. In <a href="/psalms/32-10.htm">Psalm 32:10</a> , it is written, "Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but loving devotion surrounds him who trusts in the LORD." Here, "compassed" conveys the idea of God's steadfast love and protection encircling the faithful, offering them security and peace amidst life's challenges.<br><br>3. <b>Metaphorical Usage</b>: "Compassed" can also be used metaphorically to describe being overwhelmed or surrounded by circumstances or emotions. In <a href="/psalms/22-12.htm">Psalm 22:12</a> , David laments, "Many bulls surround me; strong bulls of Bashan encircle me." This vivid imagery portrays the psalmist's feeling of being besieged by powerful enemies, highlighting his vulnerability and need for divine intervention.<br><br>4. <b>Judgment and Consequence</b>: The term is sometimes associated with judgment or the consequences of sin. In <a href="/lamentations/3-5.htm">Lamentations 3:5</a> , the prophet Jeremiah speaks of being compassed with bitterness and hardship: "He has besieged me and surrounded me with bitterness and hardship." This reflects the experience of divine chastisement and the encompassing nature of suffering due to disobedience.<br><br>5. <b>Spiritual Warfare</b>: In the New Testament, the concept of being compassed is relevant to spiritual warfare. <a href="/hebrews/12.htm">Hebrews 12:1</a> encourages believers, "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off every encumbrance and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with endurance the race set out for us." Here, the faithful are depicted as being compassed by the testimonies of those who have gone before, urging them to persevere in their spiritual journey.<br><br>In summary, the term "compassed" in the Bible is rich with meaning, encompassing both literal and figurative senses. It serves as a reminder of God's protective presence, the reality of spiritual and physical challenges, and the call to remain steadfast in faith.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
