Usage: The term מְבוֹאָה is used in the context of describing a place of safety or refuge, akin to a haven. It is not frequently used in the Hebrew Bible, but when it appears, it conveys the idea of a secure entry or a place of protection.

Context: מְבוֹאָה (mevo'ah) is a noun that signifies a haven or a place of entry, often with connotations of safety and security. The root בּוֹא (bo) is commonly used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the act of coming or entering, and מְבוֹאָה extends this concept to a specific location that offers refuge or protection. In the ancient Near Eastern context, a haven would be a critical location for travelers and seafarers, providing a safe harbor from the dangers of travel and the elements. The term encapsulates the idea of divine provision and protection, reflecting the broader biblical theme of God as a refuge and fortress for His people. While מְבוֹאָה itself is not extensively used in the biblical text, its conceptual significance is echoed in various passages that speak of God providing a safe place for His followers.
