Usage:The Hebrew word "kokab" refers to a star or celestial body. In the biblical context, it is often used to describe the physical stars in the sky, as well as metaphorically to represent angels or significant figures. The term can also symbolize guidance, divine creation, and the vastness of God's universe.

Cultural and Historical Background:In ancient Near Eastern cultures, stars were often associated with deities and were considered to have significant influence over earthly events. The Hebrews, however, recognized stars as part of God's creation, serving as signs and markers of time (Genesis 1:14). The stars were also used for navigation and as symbols of God's promise to Abraham regarding his descendants (Genesis 15:5).
