חִבֵּ֑שׁ
𐤇𐤁𐤔
châbash
he dams up
To bind or wrap securely; to bandage by wrapping cloth or material around, especially in the context of medical care (binding up wounds), or to wind or wrap as with a turban or saddle. The verb commonly applies to actions of wrapping, bandaging, or securing something firmly around an object, person, or animal. In extended and figurative senses, it can mean to restrain, enclose, or equip, as with a saddle. In a few contexts, it refers to the activity of caring for the injured (bandaging wounds), thus associated with healing. The semantic range therefore includes literal acts of wrapping or binding and broader senses of preparation or care, with rare figurative development toward 'restraining' or 'governing.'
