Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for נָגַח (nagach) in the Strong's Greek lexicon, as the concept of goring is specific to Hebrew cultural and legal contexts. However, related concepts of aggression or conflict might be expressed through different Greek terms depending on the context. Usage: The verb נָגַח (nagach) is used in the context of an animal, particularly an ox, goring with its horns. It is also used metaphorically to describe aggressive or hostile actions, akin to waging war or engaging in conflict. Context: The Hebrew verb נָגַח (nagach) appears in the Old Testament primarily in contexts involving animals, specifically oxen, that gore with their horns. This action is often associated with the legal implications of an ox that has a known history of goring, as outlined in the Mosaic Law. The term is used to describe the physical act of an animal attacking with its horns, which can result in injury or death to humans or other animals. In Exodus 21:28-31, the law provides specific instructions regarding an ox that gores a person to death. If the ox was known to have a habit of goring, and its owner did not keep it confined, the owner could be held responsible. This passage highlights the seriousness of the act of goring and the responsibility of the owner to prevent such incidents. The term is also used metaphorically in prophetic literature to describe nations or leaders who act aggressively or engage in warfare. In Daniel 8:4, the imagery of a ram butting in various directions symbolizes the expansionist and aggressive actions of a kingdom. Example from the Berean Standard Bible (BSB): • Exodus 21:28: "If an ox gores a man or a woman to death, the ox must surely be stoned, and its meat may not be eaten. But the owner of the ox will be acquitted."
