Usage: The Hebrew verb "zabal" primarily means to dwell or reside, often with a connotation of permanence or stability. It can also imply an exalted or honored dwelling, suggesting a place of significance or reverence. In some contexts, it may carry the idea of exalting or honoring, particularly in relation to God's dwelling place. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of dwelling was deeply significant, often associated with God's presence among His people. The tabernacle and later the temple were seen as God's dwelling places on earth, where He resided among the Israelites. The idea of dwelling also extended to the land of Israel itself, which was considered a divinely appointed place for the Israelites to reside.
