The back, being a significant part of the body, could symbolize strength, burden-bearing, or support. Mounds or elevated areas were often significant in ancient times for religious, military, or agricultural purposes, serving as altars, lookout points, or storage areas.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/1354.htm">gab</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>back or side<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>back (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">גַּב</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> either <font size="+1"><b>back</b></font> (<font class="hebrew2">ᵑ7</font> <font class="hebrew2">גַּב</font> <em>back, top</em>;
