Usage: The term סְחָבָה appears in the Hebrew Bible to describe a rag, typically in a context that emphasizes its insignificance or use as a cleaning or wiping cloth. Context: The Hebrew word סְחָבָה (sechabah) is used in the Old Testament to denote a rag or a piece of cloth. This term is often associated with items of low value, used for menial purposes such as cleaning or wiping. The imagery of a rag in biblical literature can symbolize humility, poverty, or the transient nature of material possessions. In the cultural and historical context of ancient Israel, rags would have been common household items, repurposed from worn-out garments or textiles. The use of סְחָבָה in scripture serves to convey messages about the human condition, the fleeting nature of earthly wealth, and the importance of spiritual over material values.
