It is used in the context of something being submerged or overwhelmed by water. This term can also imply being settled or fixed in a particular place, often with a connotation of being overwhelmed or engulfed.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, water was both a source of life and a symbol of chaos and danger. The act of sinking or drowning was often associated with peril and divine judgment. The imagery of being overwhelmed by water is prevalent in Hebrew poetry and narrative, reflecting the Israelites' experiences with the sea and rivers, which were both vital and threatening.<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 spin<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>spun (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">טָוָה</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>spin</b></font> (Late Hebrew <em>id.</em>;
