It implies a verbal expression that is given in reply to a question or as a statement of truth.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of testimony was crucial, especially in legal and religious contexts. Testimonies were often given in courts or as part of religious rituals, serving as a means to establish truth and justice. The Hebrew legal system placed a high value on the integrity and reliability of a witness's testimony, reflecting the broader cultural emphasis on truthfulness and accountability.<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 pierce<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>pierced (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> II.
