Strong's Lexicon gav: Back, body, midst Original Word: גַּו Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to hollow or curve Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4972 (sphragizo): To seal, set a seal upon - G3319 (mesos): Middle, midst Usage: The Hebrew word "gav" primarily refers to the back or body of a person or object. It can also denote the midst or middle part of something. In biblical usage, it often describes the physical back of a person or the central part of an object or location. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the body was often used metaphorically to describe strength, burden, or vulnerability. The back, in particular, was seen as a place of strength but also a place where burdens were carried. The concept of the "midst" or "middle" was significant in Hebrew thought, often representing the heart or core of a matter.
