It often conveys a sense of being at ease, free from disturbance or worry. In the biblical context, it can refer to both physical and spiritual states of well-being.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, the concept of being "at ease" or "prosperous" was often associated with divine blessing and favor. The Israelites believed that obedience to God's commandments would lead to a life of peace and security. Conversely, disobedience could result in turmoil and insecurity. The term "shalev" reflects a cultural understanding of peace and prosperity as gifts from God, often linked to the covenant relationship between God and His people.<div class="vheading2">NAS
