Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be prominent. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct Greek equivalent for נֶפֶת (nephet) in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of a height or elevated place can be related to Greek terms such as ὑψηλός (hypsēlos • Strong's Greek 5308), which means high or lofty, and ὄρος (oros • Strong's Greek 3735), meaning mountain or hill. These terms capture the essence of elevation and prominence similar to נֶפֶת in the Hebrew context. Usage: The term נֶפֶת (nephet) is used in the context of describing a geographical feature, particularly a high or elevated area. It is found in the Old Testament, where it is used to denote a specific location or feature of the landscape. Context: • נֶפֶת (nephet) appears in the context of describing a region or area that is characterized by its elevation. The term is used to convey the idea of a place that stands out due to its height, often implying a sense of prominence or significance within the landscape. • In the Berean Standard Bible, נֶפֶת is translated in a way that reflects its meaning as a height or elevated place. For example, in Joshua 12:18, the term is used to describe a specific location within the territorial boundaries being delineated: "the king of Aphek, one; the king of Lasharon, one." • The use of נֶפֶת in the biblical text underscores the importance of geographical features in the narrative, often serving as markers or boundaries that define territories and regions.
