It can also imply a trembling or shaking, reflecting a state of vulnerability or disorientation.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, physical stability was often associated with strength and divine favor, while instability or staggering was seen as a sign of weakness, judgment, or divine displeasure. The imagery of reeling or staggering is used in the Hebrew Bible to depict the effects of God's judgment or the overwhelming nature of certain experiences, such as fear or intoxication.<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 quiver, shake, reel<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>brandished (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">רָעַל</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>quiver, shake, reel</b></font> (Aramaic <font class="hebrew2">רְעַל</font>, <img src="/bdbgif/bdb094701.gif">, <em>quiver, shake, tremble</em>; Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb094702.gif"> <em>the hanging part</em> of a sheep's split ear, also (Frey) a kind of <em>veil</em> of which a part hangs down in front; <img src="/bdbgif/bdb094703.gif"> <em>dangling</em>; Lihyanian has proper name <font class="hebrew2">רעל</font> DHM<sup>Epigr.
