It can refer to the wings of a bird or the extremities of a garment. In biblical literature, it is sometimes used to symbolize protection, covering, or the outermost part of an object.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, wings were often associated with protection and refuge. The imagery of wings is frequently used in the Bible to convey God's care and shelter over His people, as a bird shelters its young under its wings. The concept of the "edge" or "extremity" also carries the idea of reaching out to the farthest point, which can symbolize God's encompassing presence.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/1610.htm">gaph</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>wing (of a bird)<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>wings (3).<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">גַּף</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font>: <a href="/interlinear/daniel/7-4.htm">Daniel 7:4</a> <font size="+1"><b>wing of bird</b></font> (<font class="hebrew2">ᵑ7</font> <font class="hebrew2">גַּף</font>, <font class="hebrew2">גַּמְּא</font>, <font class="hebrew2">גַּנְמָּא</font> (?
