Usage: The term סְאוֹן appears in the context of military attire, particularly referring to the footwear used by soldiers. It is mentioned in the context of battle and warfare.

Context: The Hebrew word סְאוֹן (se'on) is found in the Old Testament, specifically in the book of Isaiah. It is used to describe the military boots worn by soldiers, emphasizing their function as protective gear against the elements, such as mud. This term is notably used in Isaiah 9:5 (BSB), which states, "For every boot of the marching warrior in the battle tumult and every garment rolled in blood will be burned as fuel for the fire." Here, סְאוֹן is part of a vivid imagery depicting the aftermath of battle, where the instruments of war, including the boots, are destined for destruction, symbolizing the end of conflict and the ushering in of peace. The use of סְאוֹן highlights the practical aspects of military life in ancient times, where soldiers needed durable and protective footwear to navigate various terrains during campaigns.
