It can also denote the midst or middle part of something. In biblical usage, it often describes the physical back of a person or the central part of an object or location.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the body was often used metaphorically to describe strength, burden, or vulnerability. The back, in particular, was seen as a place of strength but also a place where burdens were carried. The concept of the "midst" or "middle" was significant in Hebrew thought, often representing the heart or core of a matter.<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>the back<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>back (2), backs (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">גַּו</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>back</b></font> — only suffix <font class="hebrew2">גַּוֶּ֑ךָ</font> <a href="/interlinear/1_kings/14-9.htm">1 Kings 14:9</a>, <font class="hebrew2">גַּוֵּ֑ךְ</font> <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/23-35.htm">Ezekiel 23:35</a>, <font class="hebrew2">גַּוָּם</font> <a href="/interlinear/nehemiah/9-26.htm">Nehemiah 9:26</a>;
