Context: • The Hebrew word סֹחֵרָה is used to convey the concept of a surrounding shield, emphasizing protection and security. In the biblical context, it often symbolizes divine protection, where God is depicted as a shield that encircles and safeguards His people. This imagery is prevalent in the Psalms, where the psalmists frequently appeal to God as their shield and protector.
