It is also used metaphorically to describe the extremity or edge of something, such as the corner of a garment. In a broader sense, it can signify protection or covering, drawing on the imagery of a bird sheltering its young under its wings.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern culture, the imagery of wings was often associated with protection and refuge. Birds were seen as symbols of care and shelter, and this imagery is frequently used in the Bible to describe God's protective nature. The corners of garments, referred to as "kanaph," were significant in Jewish tradition, as they were often adorned with tassels (tzitzit) as a reminder of the commandments (Numbers 15:38-39).<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>denominative verb from <a href="/hebrew/3671.htm">kanaph</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to be cornered or thrust into a corner<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>hide (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">כָּנַף</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb denominative</b></font> from <font class="hebrew2">כָּנָף</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>2</b></font> only <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Niph`al</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>be cornered, thrust into a corner, or aside</b></font>;
