It is often used metaphorically in the Bible to symbolize the transient and fleeting nature of human life and earthly glory. The imagery of grass, which grows quickly and withers just as fast, serves as a poignant reminder of the brevity of life and the enduring nature of God's word.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near East, grass was a common sight in the fields and pastures, essential for feeding livestock. However, due to the arid climate, grass would often wither quickly under the scorching sun, making it an apt metaphor for the temporary nature of life. This imagery would have resonated deeply with the agrarian society of ancient Israel, who depended on the land for sustenance and understood the cycles of growth and decay.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/2691b.htm">chatser</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a settled abode, haunt<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>abode (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">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> I. <font class="hebrew2">חָצִיר</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>settled abode or haunt</b></font> ("" form of <font class="hebrew2">חָצֵר</font> <em>above</em>, or text error for it);
