Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G71 (ἄγω, agō): To lead, bring, carry • G1166 (δείκνυμι, deiknymi): To show, make known • G1863 (ἐπαναπαύομαι, epanapauomai): To rest upon, rely on • G2137 (εὐοδόω, euodoō): To prosper, succeed in reaching • G3343 (μεταφέρω, metapherō): To transfer, carry over • G3870 (παρακαλέω, parakaleō): To call to one's side, to comfort, encourage • G5087 (τίθημι, tithēmi): To put, place, set These Greek terms reflect various aspects of guidance, leadership, and direction, paralleling the Hebrew concept of נָחָה (nachah) in the New Testament context. Usage: The verb נָחָה (nachah) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the act of guiding or leading someone or something. It often conveys the sense of providing direction or showing the way, whether in a physical, moral, or spiritual context. Context: The Hebrew verb נָחָה (nachah) appears in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, emphasizing the role of guidance and leadership. It is frequently used to describe God's guidance of His people, as seen in passages where God leads the Israelites through the wilderness or provides them with moral and spiritual direction. For example, in Exodus 15:13, the text states, "In Your loving devotion You will lead the people You have redeemed; in Your strength You will guide them to Your holy dwelling." This usage underscores the divine role in directing the paths of the faithful. The term also appears in contexts involving human leadership, such as when individuals are guided by others in positions of authority or wisdom. In Psalm 23:3, the psalmist declares, "He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness for the sake of His name." Here, the guidance is both restorative and righteous, reflecting a holistic approach to leadership that encompasses both physical and spiritual well-being. נָחָה (nachah) is also used metaphorically to describe the act of transporting or leading inanimate objects, such as leading a flock or guiding a vehicle. This broader application highlights the versatility of the term in conveying movement and direction across different scenarios.
