In the biblical context, it symbolizes wisdom and the honor that comes from living a righteous life. It is used to convey the idea of something that encircles or crowns, providing beauty and distinction.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, garlands and wreaths were commonly used as symbols of victory, honor, and celebration. They were often worn during festive occasions and were considered marks of distinction. In the biblical context, the use of "livyah" as a metaphor for wisdom reflects the high value placed on wisdom and understanding in Hebrew culture. Wisdom was seen as a source of life and prosperity, and those who possessed it were considered blessed and honored.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from an unused word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a wreath<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>garland (1), wreath (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">לִוְיָה</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>wreath</b></font>;
