Usage

The Hebrew word עֲטָרָה (atarah) primarily denotes a "crown" or "wreath," often symbolizing honor, authority, or victory. In the Old Testament, it is used both literally, as a physical crown worn by kings or priests, and metaphorically, representing glory, wisdom, or the reward of a righteous life.
