Usage: The Hebrew word "segor" refers to the act of closing or shutting something, often used in the context of doors, gates, or enclosures. It conveys the idea of securing or sealing off an area, providing protection or privacy.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of closing or sealing was significant for both practical and symbolic reasons. Gates and doors were essential for the protection of homes and cities, serving as barriers against intruders and wild animals.

The act of shutting a door or gate was often associated with divine protection or judgment, as seen in various biblical narratives.
