In the biblical context, it is used to describe the corners of buildings, altars, or other constructed items. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite architecture, corners were significant in the construction of buildings and altars. They were often seen as points of strength and stability.

The concept of corners also held symbolic meaning, representing completeness and the encompassing nature of God's presence.
