It is a term that conveys the idea of something that is formed or shaped from the earth, emphasizing its tangible and physical nature.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the land and its produce were central to daily life and survival. The imagery of earth and soil was commonly used in the Hebrew language to convey ideas of creation, life, and sustenance. The concept of a "gush" or clod of earth would have been familiar to an agrarian society that relied heavily on farming and the fertility of the land.<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 clod, lump<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>crust (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">גּוּשׁ</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>clod, lump</b></font> (Late Hebrew <em>id.</em>, Aramaic <font class="hebrew2">גּוּשָׁה</font>;
