It is often used in the context of dispersing or chasing away something or someone. This action can be both literal, such as scattering physical objects or people, and metaphorical, such as dispersing fears or doubts.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of scattering or driving away was significant in both agricultural and military contexts. Shepherds would drive away predators from their flocks, and armies would scatter their enemies in battle. The term also carries spiritual connotations, as God is often depicted as one who scatters the plans of the wicked or disperses His enemies.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span
