It can also denote a tribe, reflecting the idea of a branch or division of a larger group. In the context of a staff, it is frequently associated with shepherds, leaders, or those in positions of power, such as Moses and Aaron. As a representation of a tribe, it signifies the subdivisions of the nation of Israel.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, a staff or rod was a common tool for shepherds, used for guiding and protecting sheep. It also served as a symbol of authority and power, often carried by leaders or rulers. In the biblical context, the staff is notably associated with Moses, who used it to perform miracles and lead the Israelites out of Egypt. The concept of a tribe, as denoted by "maateh," reflects the patriarchal and familial structures of ancient Israel, where each tribe descended from one of the sons of Jacob.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/5844.htm">atah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a wrap, mantle<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>mantle (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">מַעֲטֶה</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>wrap, mantle</b></font>; — only construct figurative <font class="hebrew2">מַעֲטֵה תְהִלָּה</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/61-3.htm">Isaiah 61:3</a> <em>a mantle of praise.</em> <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>garment <p>From <a href="/hebrew/5844.htm">atah</a>; a vestment -- garment. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/5844.htm">atah</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>מַעֲטֵ֣ה מעטה ma‘ăṭêh ma·‘ă·ṭêh maaTeh<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/isaiah/61-3.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Isaiah 61:3</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/isaiah/61.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">תַּ֣חַת אֵ֔בֶל <b> מַעֲטֵ֣ה </b> תְהִלָּ֔ה תַּ֖חַת</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/isaiah/61.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> of mourning, <span class="itali">The mantle</span> of praise<br><a href="/kjvs/isaiah/61.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> for mourning, <span class="itali">the garment</span> of praise<br><a href="/interlinear/isaiah/61-3.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> instead of mourning <span class="itali">the mantle</span> of praise instead<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4594.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4594.htm">Strong's Hebrew 4594<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/maateh_4594.htm">ma·‘ă·ṭêh — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/4593.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="4593"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="4593" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/4595.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="4595"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="4595" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
