They are used in the New Testament to convey similar themes of divine intervention and transformation. Usage: The verb נָתָס (natas) is used in the context of uprooting or tearing up, often referring to the removal or destruction of something that is firmly established, such as plants or structures. Context: The Hebrew verb נָתָס (natas) appears in the Old Testament to describe the action of uprooting or tearing up. This term is often used metaphorically to signify the removal or destruction of nations, peoples, or established entities by divine intervention or judgment. The act of uprooting is symbolic of God's power to dismantle and remove what is deeply rooted, whether it be physical, social, or spiritual. In the Berean Standard Bible, נָתָס is used in contexts that emphasize God's sovereignty and authority over creation. For example, in Jeremiah 1:10, God appoints Jeremiah over nations and kingdoms "to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant." This passage highlights the dual role of destruction and restoration that God can enact through His prophets. The imagery of uprooting is also present in passages that discuss the consequences of disobedience and the eventual restoration of Israel. The use of נָתָס underscores the theme of divine judgment followed by renewal, as God has the power to both dismantle and reestablish according to His will.
