It can also refer to a sheaf, which is a bundle of grain stalks laid lengthwise and tied together after reaping. This term is used to convey the idea of gathering or collecting the best parts, whether in agriculture or metaphorically in other contexts.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, agriculture was a central part of daily life and economy. The process of harvesting and gathering sheaves was a significant activity, symbolizing provision and sustenance. The imagery of the "top of a tree" or "sheaf" would resonate with an agrarian society, representing abundance, blessing, and the culmination of growth. Trees, particularly their tops, were often seen as symbols of strength and prominence.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/6016.htm">omer</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a swath, row of fallen grain<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>sheaf (1), sheaves (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> <font class="hebrew2">עָמִיר</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>swath, row of fallen grain</b></font> (<em>hay</em>, as Mishna, according to Vogelst<sup>l.c. 74 f.</sup> (who is then compelled to read <font class="hebrew2">עֹמֶר</font> <a href="/interlinear/micah/4-12.htm">Micah 4:12</a>), compare Syriac <img src="/bdbgif/bdb077103.gif"> <em>grass</em>, Schw<sup>Idioticon 69</sup>);
