In the Old Testament, it is used both literally, as a physical crown worn by kings or priests, and metaphorically, representing glory, wisdom, or the reward of a righteous life.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, crowns were significant symbols of power and status. They were worn by kings, priests, and sometimes by brides and grooms during weddings. Crowns could be made of various materials, including gold, silver, or even flowers, depending on the occasion and the wearer's status. The concept of a crown also extended to symbolize divine favor and blessing, as seen in the wisdom literature and prophetic writings.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/5753.htm">avah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a ruin, heap of ruins<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>heap of ruins (3), ruins (2).<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">עִי</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>ruin, heap of ruins</b></font>;
