In the biblical context, it is often associated with the protective gear worn by soldiers, symbolizing preparedness and defense against physical attacks.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, helmets were an essential part of a warrior's armor. Made from materials such as bronze or iron, helmets were crafted to provide maximum protection while allowing for visibility and mobility. The use of helmets in the Bible reflects the militaristic aspects of ancient Israelite society and their interactions with neighboring nations.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain derivation<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>helmet<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>helmet (4), helmets (2).<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">כּוֺבַע</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>helmet</b></font> (√ dubious; Late Hebrew <font class="hebrew2">כּוֺבַע</font>, Aramaic <font class="hebrew2">כּוֺבְעָא</font> <em>turban</em>; compare <font class="hebrew2">קוֺבַע</font> <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/23-24.htm">Ezekiel 23:24</a>) — absolute <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">כ</font> <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/27-10.htm">Ezekiel 27:10</a>; <font class="hebrew2">כּוֺבָ֑ע</font> <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/38-5.htm">Ezekiel 38:5</a>; construct <font class="hebrew2">כּ֫וֺבַע</font> (Ew<sup>§ 213, f.</sup>) <a href="/interlinear/1_samuel/17-5.htm">1 Samuel 17:5</a>; <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/59-17.htm">Isaiah 59:17</a>; plural <font class="hebrew2">כּוֺבָעִים</font> <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/46-4.htm">Jeremiah 46:4</a>; 2Chronicles 26:14; — <em>helmet</em>, of bronze <font class="hebrew2">נְחשֶׁת עַלרֿאֹשׁוֺ</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">כ</font> <a href="/interlinear/1_samuel/17-5.htm">1 Samuel 17:5</a>; <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/46-4.htm">Jeremiah 46:4</a>; <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/27-10.htm">Ezekiel 27:10</a>; <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/38-5.htm">Ezekiel 38:5</a>; 2Chronicles 26:14; figurative of <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">י</font>, <font class="hebrew2">יְשׁוּעָה</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">וַיִּלְבַּשׁ צְדָקָה כַּשִּׁרְיָן וְכ</font> <font class="hebrew2">בְּראֹשׁוֺ</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/59-17.htm">Isaiah 59:17</a>. <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>helmet <p>From an unused root meaning to be high or rounded; a helmet (as arched) -- helmet.
