In the Hebrew Bible, fasting is a means of humbling oneself before God, seeking His guidance, expressing repentance, or mourning. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, fasting was a common religious practice. It was often associated with prayer and repentance, serving as a physical expression of humility and dependence on God. Fasting could be a communal activity, such as on the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur), or a personal act of devotion. It was also a response to crises, such as impending danger or national calamity, and was sometimes accompanied by wearing sackcloth and ashes.
