It often refers to physical conditions, such as a withered hand or dry land. The term can also metaphorically describe spiritual barrenness or lack of vitality. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near East, the concept of dryness was often associated with desolation and lack of life. Water was a precious resource, and dry land was seen as inhospitable and unproductive. In the context of physical ailments, a withered hand or limb would have been seen as a significant disability, affecting one's ability to work and participate fully in community life.
