It can also imply a sense of diminishment or reduction in vitality or strength.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, physical appearance and vitality were often seen as reflections of one's inner state or spiritual condition. The imagery of wrinkling or shriveling would have been a powerful metaphor for decline, whether in terms of age, spiritual fervor, or divine judgment. The agrarian society of ancient Israel would have been familiar with the process of plants withering, making this a vivid illustration of loss or decay.<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 seize<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>shriveled (1), snatched away (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> [<font class="hebrew2">קָמַט</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>seize</b></font> (Late Hebrew <em>id., seize, grasp, press together</em>;
