Strong's Lexicon kenath: Wing, extremity, corner Original Word: כְּנָת Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to collect or gather. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4420 (pterux): Wing - G1137 (gonu): Corner, angle Usage: The Hebrew word "kenath" primarily refers to a wing or an extremity, often used metaphorically to describe protection, covering, or the outermost parts of something. In the context of the Bible, it can denote the wings of a bird, the corners of a garment, or the extremities of the earth. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of wings was often associated with protection and refuge. The imagery of being under God's wings is a powerful metaphor for divine care and shelter. The corners of garments, referred to as "kenath," were significant in Jewish tradition, as they were often adorned with tassels (tzitzit) as a reminder of the commandments (Numbers 15:38-39).
