Berean Strong's Lexicon nagach: To gore, to push, to thrust Original Word: נָגַח Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "nagach" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as the concept of goring is more specific to Hebrew legal and cultural contexts. However, related concepts of violence or harm might be expressed with Greek words like "πλήσσω" (plēssō - to strike) or "κρούω" (krouō - to smite). Usage: The Hebrew verb "nagach" primarily means to gore, as with the horns of an animal. It is often used in the context of an ox goring a person or another animal. The term conveys a sense of violent thrusting or pushing, typically resulting in harm or injury. In the biblical context, it is used to describe the actions of animals, particularly in legal texts concerning the responsibility of an animal's owner. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, oxen were common domestic animals used for plowing and transportation. The goring of a person by an ox was a significant legal issue, as it could result in serious injury or death. The Mosaic Law provided specific regulations regarding the responsibility of an ox owner if their animal gored someone. This reflects the broader ancient Near Eastern legal traditions where the actions of animals and the responsibilities of their owners were carefully regulated.
