It is used in the context of expressing affection, greeting, or showing respect. The act of kissing in biblical times was a common cultural practice that signified various forms of relational bonds, including familial love, friendship, and allegiance.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, kissing was a customary gesture that conveyed a range of emotions and intentions. It was not limited to romantic affection but extended to familial relationships, friendships, and even political alliances. Kissing could be a sign of respect, submission, or covenantal agreement. The cultural context of the Bible reflects these practices, where kissing was a significant social gesture.<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 bray, cry<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>bray (1), cry (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">נָהַק</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>bray, cry</b></font> (Late Hebrew <em>id.</em>;
