It is often associated with the Nile River and its delta, where such plants were abundant. In biblical usage, "gome" is typically used to describe the materials used for making baskets or boats, highlighting its flexibility and buoyancy.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Egypt and the surrounding regions, papyrus was a crucial resource. It was used for making paper, boats, baskets, and other everyday items. The plant's significance extended beyond practical uses; it was also a symbol of life and fertility due to its association with water and the Nile. The Israelites, during their time in Egypt, would have been familiar with the uses and significance of papyrus.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/1572.htm">gama</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a rush, reed, papyrus<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>papyrus (2), rushes (1), wicker (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">גֹּ֫מֶא</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font><sup>Job 8:11</sup> <font size="+1"><b>rush, reed, papyrus</b></font> (compare Löw<sup>p. 55</sup>) (Late Hebrew <font class="hebrew2">גּוֺמֶא</font>, Ethiopic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb016705.gif"> loan-word, according to Di;
