It appears in both literal and metaphorical senses throughout the Scriptures, reflecting God's actions, human behavior, and the growth of spiritual truths. 1. Divine Protection and Provision: One of the most poignant uses of "spread" is in the context of God's protection and provision. In <a href="/psalms/91-4.htm">Psalm 91:4</a>, it is written, "He will cover you with His feathers; under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and rampart." Here, the imagery of God spreading His wings conveys a sense of safety and care, akin to a bird sheltering its young. 2. The Spread of God's Word: The concept of spreading is also significant in the dissemination of God's Word and the Gospel. In the New Testament, the early church is described as spreading the message of Christ. <a href="/acts/6-7.htm">Acts 6:7</a> states, "So the word of God continued to spread, and the number of disciples in Jerusalem grew rapidly, and a great number of priests became obedient to the faith." This highlights the dynamic growth and influence of the early Christian message. 3. Human Actions and Influence: The Bible also uses "spread" to describe human actions, both positive and negative. In <a href="/proverbs/29-5.htm">Proverbs 29:5</a>, it is noted, "A man who flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his feet." This verse warns against deceitful behavior, illustrating how flattery can lead to entrapment and harm. 4. Judgment and Consequences: The spreading of consequences due to sin is another theme. In the Old Testament, the spread of leprosy is used as a metaphor for the pervasive nature of sin. <a href="/leviticus/13-7.htm">Leviticus 13:7</a> describes the process of examining a spreading skin disease, symbolizing the need for vigilance against moral and spiritual corruption. 5. Symbolism in Worship and Rituals: In the context of worship, "spread" is used in the description of rituals and offerings. <a href="/exodus/40-19.htm">Exodus 40:19</a> describes the setting up of the tabernacle: "Then he spread the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering over the tent, as the LORD had commanded him." This act of spreading the tent signifies the preparation and sanctification of a space for divine worship. 6. The Spread of Nations and Peoples: The Bible also records the spread of nations and peoples as part of God's sovereign plan. In <a href="/bsb/genesis/10.htm">Genesis 10</a>, often referred to as the Table of Nations, the descendants of Noah's sons are described as spreading out over the earth, fulfilling God's command to "be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth" (<a href="/genesis/9.htm">Genesis 9:1</a>). 7. Metaphorical Uses: The metaphorical use of "spread" can also be seen in the prophetic literature. In <a href="/isaiah/25-7.htm">Isaiah 25:7</a>, it is prophesied, "On this mountain He will swallow up the shroud that enfolds all peoples, the sheet that covers all nations." This imagery of a spread shroud being removed signifies the removal of death and the revelation of God's salvation to all nations. In summary, the concept of "spread" in the Bible encompasses a wide range of meanings, from the protective and nurturing actions of God to the expansive growth of His Word and the influence of human actions. Each usage underscores the dynamic and far-reaching impact of divine and human activities in the biblical narrative.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
