In the agrarian society of ancient Israel, a hedge would serve as a boundary marker or a protective barrier for vineyards and fields, keeping out animals and intruders. The concept of a hedge also carries a metaphorical meaning, symbolizing divine protection or a spiritual boundary set by God.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, agriculture was a central part of daily life, and maintaining the integrity of one's fields and vineyards was crucial. Hedges were practical solutions for protecting crops from wild animals and thieves. Beyond their physical function, hedges also held symbolic significance in the Hebrew Scriptures, representing God's protection over His people. The imagery of a hedge is used to convey the idea of divine safeguarding and the boundaries established by God's commandments.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/7753.htm">suk</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a hedge<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>hedge (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">מְשֻׂכָֿה</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>hedge</b></font> (= <font class="hebrew2">מְסוּכָה</font>); — construct <font class="hebrew2">מְשֻׂכַֿת חָ֑דֶק</font> <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/15-19.htm">Proverbs 15:19</a> (in simile). — <font class="hebrew2">מְשׂוּכֶּתוֺ</font> see III. <font class="hebrew2">שׂכך</font>. <p>II. <font class="hebrew2">שׂוך</font> (?
