It is used to describe the visible evidence of past injury or trauma. In a broader sense, it can symbolize the lasting impact of experiences, both physical and emotional.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, physical scars were often seen as marks of experience and survival. They could be associated with battles, personal struggles, or divine encounters. Scars were sometimes viewed as honorable, reflecting a person's endurance and resilience. In a spiritual context, scars could also symbolize the healing and restoration process, indicating that while wounds may heal, they leave a lasting reminder of the journey.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain derivation<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>an Ammonite hero of David<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Zelek (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">צֶ֫לֶק</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>Ammonite hero of David</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/2_samuel/23-37.htm">2 Samuel 23:37</a> = <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/11-39.htm">1 Chronicles 11:39</a>, <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Ελειε</font>, <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Σελ</font> (<font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">λ</font>) <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">η</font> (<font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">κ</font>), <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Σαλααδ</font>, etc. <p><font class="hebrew2">צִלְּתַי</font> see III. <font class="hebrew2">צלל</font>.
