Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Strong's Hebrew Number 84, as the concept of a pinion or large feather is specific to Hebrew imagery and metaphor. However, similar themes of protection and care can be found in Greek terms related to wings or shelter, such as "πτερύγιον" (pterygion), which refers to a wing or feather in the New Testament context.

Usage: The term "אֶבְרָה" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a wing or a large feather, often in the context of describing the protective or covering aspect of a bird's wings.

Context: The Hebrew word "אֶבְרָה" (ebrah) appears in the Old Testament to describe the pinion or large feather of a bird, which is integral to the bird's ability to fly and provides protection. This term is used metaphorically in the Scriptures to convey the idea of shelter, protection, and care, much like a bird covers its young with its wings. The imagery of wings is often employed in the Bible to illustrate God's protective nature over His people.

In the Berean Standard Bible, "אֶבְרָה" is found in passages such as Deuteronomy 32:11, which describes God's care for Israel: "As an eagle stirs up its nest and hovers over its young, He spreads His wings to catch them and carries them on His pinions." This verse uses the imagery of an eagle's wings to depict God's nurturing and protective actions.

The concept of wings as a symbol of divine protection is a recurring theme in the Psalms as well. For instance, Psalm 91:4 states, "He will cover you with His feathers; under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and rampart." Here, the pinions represent a place of safety and refuge, emphasizing God's faithfulness and care.
