It is often used in the context of looking forward to something with eager expectation. This waiting is not passive but involves a confident expectation of God's intervention or fulfillment of His promises. The term can also imply a sense of gathering or binding together, as in the intertwining of strands to form a cord, symbolizing strength and unity.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, waiting was often associated with faith and trust in God's timing and provision. The agrarian society of ancient Israel required patience and reliance on God for the growth of crops and the provision of rain. This cultural context underscores the spiritual discipline of waiting on the Lord, which is a recurring theme throughout the Hebrew Scriptures. The concept of "qavah" reflects a deep-seated belief in God's faithfulness and sovereignty.<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> I.
