It conveys the idea of safeguarding or defending. Context: The Hebrew verb גָּנַן (ganan) appears in the Old Testament with the primary meaning of "to hedge about" or "to protect." This term is often used metaphorically to describe God's protective actions over His people. The imagery of hedging suggests a defensive barrier, akin to a fence or wall, that keeps out harm and danger. In the context of divine protection, גָּנַן emphasizes God's role as a guardian who surrounds His people with His care and security.
