Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4420 πτέρυξ (pteryx) – wing

- G1137 γωνία (gonia) – corner

Usage: The Hebrew word "kenath" is often used to describe the wing of a bird or an angel, symbolizing protection, covering, or the extremity of something. It can also refer to the corner or edge of a garment, which holds cultural significance in biblical texts.

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 the context of the commandments regarding tassels (tzitzit) in Numbers 15:38-39, serving as a reminder of the commandments and the covenant with God.
