Usage: The term נוֹצָה is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the feathers or plumage of birds, often in a metaphorical sense to convey protection, beauty, or the ability to soar. Context: The Hebrew word נוֹצָה (notzah) appears in the context of describing the feathers or plumage of birds. It is often used metaphorically in the Hebrew Scriptures to illustrate concepts of protection, beauty, and freedom. For instance, in Psalm 91:4, the imagery of feathers is used to convey God's protective care: "He will cover you with His feathers; under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and rampart." This verse uses the imagery of a bird's plumage to symbolize divine protection and security. The term נוֹצָה is also associated with the idea of flight, representing the ability to rise above earthly concerns and reach towards the divine. The use of נוֹצָה in biblical literature highlights the beauty and intricacy of creation, as well as the spiritual truths that can be drawn from the natural world.
