It is used in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, including the sending of people, messages, or objects. It can also imply the act of stretching out one's hand, often in the context of reaching or extending.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the act of sending was significant in both everyday life and religious practices. Sending a messenger or emissary was a common practice for communication between individuals, tribes, and nations. The concept of sending also held spiritual significance, as seen in the sending of prophets by God to deliver His messages to the people of Israel.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive
