It conveys the action of bringing things together into a pile or collection, sometimes with the implication of clearing or cleaning an area.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the act of gathering or sweeping was a common household task, often associated with preparing a space for use or ensuring cleanliness. This action could also be metaphorically extended to describe the gathering of people or resources, reflecting the agrarian and communal lifestyle of the Israelites. The concept of gathering is significant in the context of harvests, community gatherings, and religious assemblies.<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 sweep together<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>sweep away (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">יָעָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>sweep together</b></font> (with collateral idea of <em>carrying away</em>) (Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb041801.gif"> is <em>collect, gather</em>) — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Qal</b></font> <em>Perfect</em> <font class="hebrew2">וְיָעָה</font> consecutive <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/28-17.htm">Isaiah 28:17</a> subject <font class="hebrew2">בָּרָד</font> with accusative (<font class="hebrew2">מַחְסֵה כָזָב</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">ויעה ב</font>). <font size="+1">**</font>Compare also Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb112401.gif"> <em>vessel</em> <a href="/interlinear/genesis/42-25.htm">Genesis 42:25</a> Saad, compare Baldensperger<sup>PEF 1904, 53,</sup> who compares Modern Arabic <i><em>wa±â</em></i> (<img src="/bdbgif/bdb112401a.gif">). <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>sweep away <p>A primitive root;
