It is used in contexts where there is a physical or metaphorical stretching out or spreading, often implying an act of covering or reaching out.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of spreading or extending was often associated with tents, garments, or wings. The nomadic lifestyle of many ancient Israelites involved the frequent setting up and taking down of tents, making the act of spreading or extending a common and practical activity. Additionally, the imagery of spreading wings is used in the Bible to convey protection and care, as seen in the metaphor of God covering His people with His wings.<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">רָפַק</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb Hithpa`el</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>support oneself, lean</b></font> (Ethiopic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb095206.gif"> <em>reclinare, accumbere</em> ad mensam;
