It can also imply the idea of something that is temporary or fleeting, as grass withers and fades.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the agrarian society of ancient Israel and the surrounding regions, grass was a vital resource for feeding livestock. The imagery of grass was commonly used in biblical literature to convey the transient nature of human life and earthly glory, as grass quickly withers and dies.
