It is often employed in contexts where attention is required, or where noise and distraction need to be minimized. This term is used to bring about a sense of calm or to prepare for an important announcement or event.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, silence was often associated with reverence, respect, and preparation for receiving important information or divine revelation. The command to be silent could be used in various settings, from religious ceremonies to moments of communal decision-making. Silence was also a sign of submission and attentiveness, especially in the presence of authority or during worship.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. interj.<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>hush! keep silence!<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>keep quiet (1), keep silence (1), quieted (1), silence (1), silent (3), still (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">הַס</font>, <font class="hebrew2">הָ֑ס</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>interjection</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>hush! keep silence</b></font> (probably onomatopoetic) <a href="/interlinear/judges/3-19.htm">Judges 3:19</a> and he said, I have a secret errand unto thee, O king, <font class="hebrew2">וַיּאֹמֶר הָ֔ס</font> and he said, <em>Keep silence!</em> <a href="/interlinear/amos/6-10.htm">Amos 6:10</a> <font class="hebrew2">וְאָמַר הָ֔ס</font> (while burying men in a pestilence), <a href="/interlinear/amos/8-3.htm">Amos 8:3</a> (elliptical) in every place: <font class="hebrew2">הִשְׁלִיךְ הָֽס</font> they cast them (the corpses) forth, (saying) <em>Hysh !</em> followed by <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">(מִמָּנָיו) מִמְּנֵי י</font> <a href="/interlinear/habakkuk/2-20.htm">Habakkuk 2:20</a>; <a href="/interlinear/zephaniah/1-7.htm">Zephaniah 1:7</a>; <a href="/interlinear/zechariah/2-17.htm">Zechariah 2:17</a>.
