Strong's Lexicon nagad: To tell, declare, make known, report, announce Original Word: נגד Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G518: apangellō (to announce, report) - G312: anangellō (to announce, declare) Usage: The Hebrew verb "nagad" primarily means to tell or declare something. It is used in various contexts to convey the act of making something known, whether it be a message, a report, or a declaration. The word often implies a sense of clarity and authority in the communication, suggesting that what is being told is of importance or significance. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, oral communication was a primary means of conveying information, teachings, and traditions. The act of declaring or telling was not merely about transferring information but was often seen as a way to affirm truth, establish authority, or fulfill a duty. Prophets, leaders, and messengers frequently used "nagad" to communicate divine messages or important news to the people.
