It is often used to describe a state of being free from disturbance or anxiety, suggesting a peaceful and undisturbed condition. This term can be applied both in a physical sense, such as being free from war or conflict, and in a spiritual or emotional sense, indicating a state of inner peace and contentment.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of peace and security was highly valued, especially given the frequent threats from neighboring nations and the harshness of the natural environment. The idea of being "at ease" or "secure" was not only a physical state but also a reflection of one's relationship with God. A life of tranquility was often seen as a blessing from God, indicative of His favor and protection.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to be quiet or at ease<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>deceive (1), ease (2), negligent (1), prosper (3).<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.
