This entry explores the different uses and symbolic meanings of "spreads" as found in the Bible, drawing from the Berean Standard Bible for scriptural references.<br><br>1. <b>Spreading of Wings</b>: The imagery of spreading wings is frequently used in the Bible to convey protection and care. In <a href="/deuteronomy/32-11.htm">Deuteronomy 32:11</a>, God is likened to an eagle that "spreads its wings to catch them and carries them on its pinions." This metaphor illustrates God's protective nature over Israel, emphasizing His nurturing and safeguarding presence.<br><br>2. <b>Spreading of Hands</b>: The act of spreading hands is often associated with prayer and supplication. In <a href="/1_kings/8-22.htm">1 Kings 8:22</a>, Solomon stands before the altar of the LORD in the presence of the assembly of Israel and "spreads out his hands toward heaven." This gesture signifies a posture of humility and earnest seeking of God's favor and guidance.<br><br>3. <b>Spreading of a Net</b>: The spreading of a net is a metaphor for entrapment or deceit. In <a href="/proverbs/1-17.htm">Proverbs 1:17</a>, it is stated, "How futile it is to spread the net in full view of all the birds!" This proverb highlights the futility of attempting to ensnare the wise, as they are aware of the traps set before them.<br><br>4. <b>Spreading of Disease</b>: In Leviticus, the spread of disease, particularly leprosy, is addressed with detailed instructions for containment and purification. <a href="/leviticus/13-7.htm">Leviticus 13:7</a> describes how a priest must examine a spreading skin disease to determine its severity and the necessary actions for purification. This reflects the importance of community health and spiritual cleanliness in Israelite society.<br><br>5. <b>Spreading of the Gospel</b>: The New Testament emphasizes the spreading of the Gospel as a central mission for believers. In <a href="/acts/6-7.htm">Acts 6:7</a>, it is recorded, "So the word of God continued to spread, and the number of disciples in Jerusalem increased rapidly." This highlights the early church's commitment to evangelism and the transformative power of the Gospel message.<br><br>6. <b>Spreading of a Feast</b>: The Bible often uses the imagery of a feast to symbolize abundance and divine provision. In <a href="/psalms/23-5.htm">Psalm 23:5</a>, David declares, "You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies." This spread signifies God's provision and blessing, even amidst adversity.<br><br>7. <b>Spreading of Garments</b>: The act of spreading garments is seen in the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. In <a href="/matthew/21-8.htm">Matthew 21:8</a>, "A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road." This act of spreading garments and branches signifies honor and recognition of Jesus as the Messiah.<br><br>The concept of "spreads" in the Bible encompasses a range of meanings, from protection and prayer to entrapment and evangelism. Each instance provides insight into the cultural, spiritual, and theological dimensions of biblical teachings, reflecting the multifaceted nature of God's interaction with humanity.<a name="heb" id="heb"></a><div class="vheading2">Strong's Hebrew</div><a href="/hebrew/4969.htm"><span class="l">4969. mathach -- to spread out</span></a><br><b>...</b> to spread out.
