It can also imply the act of shaving or making bare. This term is used in the context of physical actions that involve clearing or smoothing a surface.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the act of sweeping or scraping was a common household task, often associated with cleaning or preparing a space for a specific purpose. The concept of shaving or making bare could also have ritualistic or symbolic significance, such as in purification rites or mourning practices. Understanding these cultural contexts helps illuminate the practical and symbolic uses of "shaphah" in the biblical narrative.<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 sweep bare<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>bare (1), stick (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.
