It is often used in the context of pouring out or making something void. This action can be physical, such as emptying a container, or metaphorical, such as laying bare one's soul or intentions. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of emptying or making bare was significant both in practical and spiritual contexts.

Spiritually, it could symbolize vulnerability, openness, or the act of laying oneself bare before God, which was an important aspect of worship and repentance.
