It is typically associated with acts of God that demonstrate His power and authority, serving as evidence of His divine intervention in the world. These signs are meant to inspire awe and faith among the people, confirming God's presence and purpose.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern context, signs and wonders were often seen as manifestations of divine power. In the Hebrew Bible, "mauph" is frequently used to describe the miraculous events that God performs to deliver His people or to authenticate His messengers. These acts were not only displays of power but also served as teaching tools to convey God's will and character to His people.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/5774b.htm">uph</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>gloom<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>gloom (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">מָעוּף</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> id.;
