These Hebrew terms, like "nomē," are often used in the Old Testament to describe the provision and care of God for His people, drawing on the familiar imagery of shepherding and pastoral life. Usage: The word "nomē" is used in the New Testament to describe a literal pasture or grazing area. It is often associated with the imagery of shepherding and the care provided by a shepherd to his flock. Context: The Greek term "νομή" (nomē) appears in the New Testament in contexts that evoke the pastoral life familiar to the ancient world. It is a term that brings to mind the image of sheep grazing under the watchful eye of a shepherd. This imagery is rich with theological significance, as it often symbolizes God's provision and care for His people. In the New Testament, the concept of "nomē" is closely linked to the role of Jesus as the Good Shepherd, who provides spiritual nourishment and guidance to His followers. The pastoral metaphor is a powerful illustration of the relationship between God and His people, highlighting themes of trust, provision, and protection. In the Berean Standard Bible, "nomē" is used to convey the idea of spiritual sustenance and the abundant life that believers find in Christ. The imagery of pasture is not only about physical nourishment but also about the peace and security found in the presence of the divine Shepherd. This term underscores the importance of relying on God's provision and the assurance that He leads His flock to places of safety and abundance.
