In the biblical context, it can symbolize God's protective presence or the temporary nature of human existence.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern context, the concept of a shadow was significant. In a hot, arid climate, shade was a valuable and necessary respite from the sun's harshness. Thus, shadows were often associated with protection and relief. Biblically, the shadow can also represent the ephemeral nature of life, as seen in the poetic and wisdom literature of the Old Testament.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>the same as <a href="/hebrew/6738.htm">tsel</a>, q.v.<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">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>shadow <p>From <a href="/hebrew/6751.htm">tsalal</a>;
