Strong's Lexicon nidneh: Sheath, covering Original Word: נִדְנֶה Word Origin: Derived from the root נָדַן (nadan), which is not commonly used in the Hebrew Bible. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "nidneh," the concept of a covering or protection can be related to Greek terms such as "περιβόλαιον" (peribolaion - covering) or "σκέπη" (skepē - shelter). Usage: The term "nidneh" refers to a sheath or covering, typically used in the context of a protective or enclosing layer. In biblical usage, it can metaphorically imply protection or concealment. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, a sheath was an essential item for protecting valuable tools or weapons, such as swords. The concept of a covering or sheath also extended metaphorically to divine protection or the concealment of something precious. The imagery of a sheath would resonate with a society familiar with the practical and symbolic importance of protection and concealment.
