It can also mean to gather or band together, typically in a hostile or aggressive manner. This dual meaning reflects both physical actions and social dynamics, often associated with warfare or ritualistic practices.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, self-laceration was sometimes practiced as a form of mourning or as a ritual act to invoke the attention of deities. The Israelites were specifically prohibited from such practices, as seen in Leviticus 19:28 and Deuteronomy 14:1, to distinguish their worship from pagan customs. The concept of banding together also reflects the tribal and communal nature of ancient societies, where groups would unite for protection or aggression.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive
