Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root נָגַד (nagad), meaning "to be conspicuous, tell, make known." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G991 (βλέπω, blepō): to see, to look at • G1726 (ἔναντι, enanti): opposite, before • G1727 (ἐναντίον, enantion): in the presence of, before • G2064 (ἔρχομαι, erchomai): to come, to go • G2112 (εὐθέως, eutheōs): immediately, straightway • G2117 (εὐθύς, euthys): straight, direct • G2192 (ἔχω, echō): to have, to hold • G3664 (ὅμοιος, homoios): like, similar • G3775 (ὀφθαλμός, ophthalmos): eye These Greek entries reflect similar concepts of visibility, presence, and relational positioning, aligning with the Hebrew usage of נֶגֶד (neged) in various contexts. Usage: The term נֶגֶד (neged) is used in various contexts within the Hebrew Bible to denote something that is in front of, opposite, or corresponding to something else. It can refer to physical positioning, relational counterparts, or metaphorical opposites. Context: נֶגֶד (neged) appears frequently in the Hebrew Bible, often used to describe spatial relationships or positions. It can indicate something that is directly in front of or facing another object or person. For example, in Genesis 2:18, the term is used to describe the creation of a "helper suitable" for Adam, indicating a counterpart or mate: "The LORD God said, 'It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make for him a suitable helper.'" (BSB) In other instances, נֶגֶד (neged) is used to describe something that is set before someone, either physically or metaphorically. For example, in Psalm 23:5, "You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies," the term conveys the idea of something being set in front of or opposite to the speaker. The term also appears in contexts where it signifies being in the presence of or before someone, as in a court or assembly setting. This usage underscores the idea of being in a position of visibility or prominence.
