It conveys the idea of a natural covering or shelter, providing a sense of security and refuge.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, thickets were common in the landscape and often served as natural barriers or hiding places. They were significant in both agricultural and military contexts, providing shelter for animals and strategic cover for soldiers. The imagery of a thicket is used in the Bible to symbolize God's protection and the hiddenness of His ways.<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">שׂוֺךְ</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>branch or brushwood</b></font>;
