Berean Strong's Lexicon suach: To meditate, to muse, to ponder Original Word: שׂוּחַ Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: suach Pronunciation: soo'-akh Phonetic Spelling: (soo'-akh) Definition: To meditate, to muse, to ponder Meaning: to muse pensively Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of meditation can be related to Greek words such as "μελετάω" (meletao - G3191), which means to care for, attend to, or practice, often used in the context of meditative thought or study. Usage: The Hebrew verb "suach" primarily conveys the act of meditating or musing. It suggests a deep, contemplative thought process, often associated with prayer or reflection. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it implies a form of communication with God, where one engages in thoughtful consideration or silent prayer. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, meditation was not merely an intellectual exercise but a spiritual discipline. It involved engaging the heart and mind in the contemplation of God's word and works. This practice was integral to the spiritual life of the Israelites, who valued meditation as a means of drawing closer to God and understanding His will.
