It conveys the idea of observing with intent or vigilance, often in the context of a watchman or someone keeping guard. This term is used to describe both literal and figurative watching, such as a physical lookout or a spiritual vigilance.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, the role of a watchman was crucial for the safety and security of a city or community. Positioned on city walls or towers, watchmen would keep an eye out for approaching enemies or any potential threats. This role required alertness and readiness to sound the alarm if danger was detected. The concept of watching also extended to spiritual vigilance, where prophets and leaders were seen as watchmen over the people, tasked with warning them of spiritual dangers and guiding them in righteousness.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/6687.htm">tsuph</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>an outflow<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>discharge (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">צָפָה</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>out-flow</b></font>;
