It is used metaphorically in the Bible to describe a place of safety, security, and care. The term can also imply a sense of home or refuge, extending beyond the literal avian context to human experiences and divine protection.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, the imagery of a nest was a powerful symbol of protection and nurturing. Birds' nests were commonly observed in the natural environment, and their construction was seen as a marvel of instinct and care. The nest symbolized a safe haven, a place where young birds are raised and protected from predators. This imagery was often used in Hebrew poetry and wisdom literature to convey God's protective and nurturing nature towards His people.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span
