Strong's Lexicon nasah: To test, to try, to prove, to tempt Original Word: נָסָה Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: nasah Pronunciation: naw-saw' Phonetic Spelling: (naw-saw') Definition: To test, to try, to prove, to tempt Meaning: to test, to attempt Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3985 (peirazō): To test, to try, to tempt - G1381 (dokimazō): To prove, to test, to approve Usage: The Hebrew verb "nasah" primarily means to test or try, often in the context of examining or proving the quality, faith, or character of someone or something. It can also imply a trial or temptation, where the intent is to reveal or refine the true nature of the subject being tested. In the biblical context, "nasah" is frequently used to describe God's testing of His people to strengthen their faith and obedience. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, testing was a common method to determine the authenticity and quality of materials, such as metals. This concept extended metaphorically to the testing of individuals' faith and character. The idea of divine testing is rooted in the covenant relationship between God and His people, where trials serve as opportunities for growth and deeper reliance on God. Testing was not seen as punitive but as a means to refine and purify.
