It can also imply the act of enclosing or fencing in an area. In a broader sense, it can be used metaphorically to describe the act of setting boundaries or limits.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, walls were crucial for the protection of cities and properties. They served as physical barriers against invaders and wild animals. The act of building a wall, therefore, was not only a practical endeavor but also a symbolic one, representing security, strength, and the establishment of boundaries. In a spiritual context, walls could symbolize the separation between the holy and the profane, or the protection of God's people from external influences.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to wall up or off, to build a wall<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>blocked (1), build (2), build the wall (1), masons (2), repairer (1), wall (1), walled (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">גָּדַר</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>wall up or off, build a wall</b></font> (denominative?
