Strong's Lexicon neged: Before, in front of, opposite, against Original Word: נֶגֶד Word Origin: Derived from the root נָגַד (nagad), meaning "to be conspicuous" or "to declare." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2713: κατέναντι (katenanti) - meaning "opposite" or "before" - G1799: ἐνώπιον (enopion) - meaning "in the presence of" or "before" Usage: The Hebrew word "neged" is primarily used as a preposition to denote spatial or metaphorical positioning. It can mean "before" or "in front of" when describing physical placement, or "opposite" and "against" in a more abstract sense. It often conveys the idea of something being in direct view or presence, suggesting a face-to-face encounter or confrontation. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, spatial orientation was significant in both physical and relational contexts. The concept of being "before" or "in front of" someone or something often implied a position of importance or direct engagement. This could be in a positive sense, such as standing before God in worship, or in a negative sense, such as being opposed to an enemy. The use of "neged" reflects the Hebrew understanding of relationships and interactions, both divine and human.
