It conveys the idea of intertwining or interlocking, often used in the context of craftsmanship or construction. The term suggests a careful and deliberate process of weaving or joining together, indicating strength and unity in the resulting structure.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, weaving and craftsmanship were essential skills, particularly in the construction of the Tabernacle and the Temple. The use of "shalab" in the context of weaving or interlocking materials reflects the importance of skilled labor and the value placed on creating strong, unified structures. This concept of intertwining can also be seen metaphorically in relationships and community, where unity and strength are achieved through interconnectedness.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to be bound or joined<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>fitted (2).<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">שָׁלַב</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb Pu`al</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>be bound, joined</b></font> (Late Hebrew Punic = Biblical Hebrew;
