Strong's Lexicon naah: To be beautiful, befitting, suitable Original Word: נָאָה Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Greek 2570: καλός (kalos) – meaning beautiful, good, or noble. - Strong's Greek 2114: εὐπρεπής (euprepes) – meaning suitable, proper, or becoming. Usage: The Hebrew verb "na'ah" primarily conveys the idea of beauty or suitability. It is often used to describe something that is fitting or appropriate, particularly in the context of worship or the character of God. The term can also imply a sense of moral or aesthetic beauty, aligning with what is considered good or proper. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, beauty was often associated with order, harmony, and appropriateness. The concept of something being "na'ah" would not only refer to physical beauty but also to the suitability of actions, rituals, or characteristics that align with divine standards. This reflects a worldview where beauty and morality are intertwined, and what is "fitting" is often what aligns with God's will and character.
