Strong's Lexicon ashpah: Quiver Original Word: אַשְׁפָּה Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to gather or store Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "ashpah," the concept of a quiver can be related to Greek terms for weapons or tools of readiness, such as "gamos" (G1062) for marriage or "hoplon" (G3696) for weapon. Usage: The term "ashpah" refers to a quiver, which is a container used for holding arrows. In the biblical context, it is often used metaphorically to describe preparedness for battle or the readiness of a warrior. The quiver is an essential part of a warrior's equipment, symbolizing strength and readiness. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, archery was a significant aspect of warfare. A quiver, typically made from leather or wood, was an indispensable tool for an archer, allowing for quick access to arrows during battle. The imagery of a quiver full of arrows is used in the Bible to convey the idea of being well-prepared and equipped, often symbolizing children or descendants as a source of strength and defense for a family or nation.
