For example, Strong's Greek 5468 (phimos) refers to a muzzle or restraint, used metaphorically in passages like James 3:3, which discusses the control of the tongue.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The Hebrew word "resen" refers to a bridle or halter, a device used to control a horse or other animal. In a broader sense, it symbolizes control or restraint, often used metaphorically to describe the act of guiding or restraining one's actions or words.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the bridle was an essential tool for anyone working with horses or other beasts of burden. It allowed the rider or handler to direct the animal's movements effectively. The concept of a bridle as a means of control is a common metaphor in biblical literature, reflecting the importance of self-control and discipline in one's spiritual and moral life.<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>a halter, jaw<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>bridle (3), mail (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> I. <font class="hebrew2">רֶ֫סֶן</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font><sup>Isaiah 30:28</sup>: <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>1</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>halter</b></font>;
