It conveys the idea of surrounding something or someone with a crown or a protective barrier. In a figurative sense, it can also imply honoring or bestowing glory upon someone. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, crowning was a significant act, often associated with kingship, honor, and divine favor.
