It can also imply a sense of shining or being polished. This term is used metaphorically to describe the appearance or condition of objects, and occasionally, it can be applied to describe the demeanor or behavior of individuals, suggesting a sense of refinement or sophistication.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, physical appearance and the condition of objects were often seen as reflections of inner qualities or states. The concept of smoothness or sleekness could be associated with beauty, purity, or even deceit, depending on the context. In a historical context, items that were polished or shone were often considered valuable or of high status, reflecting the importance of appearance in social and religious settings.<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> I.
