It can also denote the middle or central part of something, emphasizing the idea of a core or central structure.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the body was often seen as a holistic entity, with each part having specific significance. The back, or "gev," was considered a symbol of strength and support, as it is central to the body's structure and function. In a broader sense, the back could also symbolize the burden one carries, both physically and metaphorically, reflecting the challenges and responsibilities of life.<div
