Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of a cage or enclosure can be related to Greek words like "κλωβός" (klobos), which also means cage.

Usage: The Hebrew word "kelub" refers to a cage or basket, typically used for confining or carrying birds. It is a term that conveys the idea of containment or enclosure, often used metaphorically to describe situations of entrapment or captivity.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, cages or baskets were commonly used for practical purposes such as transporting birds or small animals.
