In the biblical context, it typically denotes a raised area or hill that has accumulated over time due to the destruction and rebuilding of settlements. These mounds are significant in understanding the historical and cultural layers of ancient cities.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near East, cities were often built and rebuilt on the same site, leading to the formation of mounds known as "tels." These mounds are composed of layers of debris from successive human occupation. Archaeologists study tels to uncover the history and culture of ancient civilizations. In biblical times, tels were often strategic locations for cities due to their elevated position, providing defense and visibility.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from an unused word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a mound<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>heap (2), mounds (1), ruin (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">תֵּל</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>mound</b></font>;
