It is used to describe the act of living or residing in a place, as well as the action of surrounding or going around something. This dual meaning reflects the ancient Near Eastern understanding of settlement and protection, where dwelling often involved encircling a space for security.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near East, the concept of dwelling was closely tied to community and protection. Settlements were often encircled by walls or natural barriers to safeguard inhabitants from external threats. The verb "dur" captures this dual aspect of living and encircling, emphasizing both the act of residing and the protective measures associated with it. This reflects the nomadic and semi-nomadic lifestyles of many ancient Hebrew communities, who valued both mobility and security.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/1752.htm">dur</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a circle, ball<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>ball (1), encircling (1), pile (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">דּוּר</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>circle, ball</b></font> — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>1</b></font> <em>circle</em>: Du<sup>Isa 29:3</sup> thinks noun here also is <font class="hebrew2">כַּדּוּר</font> (or <font class="hebrew2">כִּדּוֺר</font>) = <font class="hebrew2">כִּידוֺר</font> <em>onset of combatants</em>; Marti <font class="hebrew2">כְּדָוִד</font> as <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> Lo Brd and others; <font class="hebrew2">וְחָנִיתִי</font> <font class="hebrew2">כַּדּוּר עליך</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/29-3.htm">Isaiah 29:3</a> ( > <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> Brd <font class="hebrew2">כְּדָוִד</font>). <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>2</b></font> <em>ball</em> <font class="hebrew2">צָנוֺף</font> <font class="hebrew2">יִצְנָפְךָ צְנֵפָה כַּדּוּר</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/22-18.htm">Isaiah 22:18</a> (so most; but Bö<sup>NÄ ii. 134</sup> De Or Jastr<sup>PAOS 1888, xciv ff.</sup> regard noun as <font class="hebrew2">כַּדּוּר</font>, <em>ball</em>, as Talmud, compare also MV SS under the word; see <font class="hebrew2">כדר</font>).
