It is used in the context of assembling people, gathering resources, or collecting items. The term conveys the idea of bringing together separate elements into a unified whole, often for a specific purpose or occasion.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite society, gathering was a significant activity, whether it involved assembling people for religious festivals, collecting harvests, or gathering materials for construction. The act of gathering was often associated with community, cooperation, and preparation. In a nomadic and agrarian culture, the ability to gather resources efficiently was crucial for survival and prosperity.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word
