In the context of the Bible, it is often associated with vigilance and readiness, characteristics that are emblematic of the rooster's behavior.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the rooster was a common domestic animal known for its crowing at dawn, which signaled the start of a new day. This characteristic made the rooster a symbol of watchfulness and alertness. In biblical times, roosters were valued for their role in rural life, serving as natural alarm clocks for agrarian societies.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/2115.htm">zur</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>girded<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>strutting* (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">זַרְזִיר</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>adjective</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>girded, girt</b></font> (compare Ba<sup>NB 206</sup>) — only construct <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/30-31.htm">Proverbs 30:31</a> <font class="hebrew2">זַרְזִיר מָתְנַיִם אוֺתָֿ֑יִו</font> <em>that which is girt in the loins</em>, etc., named with lion, he-goat, and king, as stately in motion.
