This term is used throughout the Old Testament to describe both literal bows used in battle and metaphorical bows representing God's judgment or covenant (e.g., Genesis 9:13, where the rainbow is a sign of God's covenant with Noah).<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>In the New Testament, the Greek word "τόξον" (toxon) is used to refer to a bow, a weapon used for shooting arrows. It symbolizes warfare, conflict, and sometimes divine judgment. The bow is often associated with a warrior or conqueror, emphasizing strength and power.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient times, the bow was a common weapon used by soldiers and hunters. It was a symbol of military might and skill. The bow's significance extended beyond warfare; it was also a tool for hunting, providing sustenance for families. In the Greco-Roman world, archery was a respected skill, and the bow was often depicted in art and literature as a symbol of power and precision.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a bow<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>bow (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">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 5115: τόξον</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">τόξον</span></span>, <span class="greek2">τόξου</span>, <span class="greek2">τό</span>, from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down, the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span> often for <span class="hebrew">קֶשֶׁת</span>, <span class="accented">a bow</span>: <a href="/interlinear/revelation/6-2.htm">Revelation 6:2</a>.<FOOTNOTE:1> <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>a bow. <p>From the base of <a href="/greek/5088.htm">tikto</a>;
