Strong's Lexicon naga: To touch, reach, strike, plague Original Word: נָגַע Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G680 (haptomai): To touch, to fasten to - G681 (hapto): To fasten to, adhere to, set on fire Usage: The Hebrew verb "naga" primarily means "to touch" or "to reach." It can imply physical contact, such as touching an object or person, or metaphorical contact, such as reaching a certain point or condition. In some contexts, it can also mean to strike or afflict, often used in relation to plagues or divine judgment. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of touch carried significant implications, both physically and ritually. Touching could convey blessing, healing, or transmission of impurity, depending on the context. The act of touching was often associated with the transfer of power or status, as seen in blessings or anointings. In the context of the Law, touching certain objects or individuals could render a person ceremonially unclean, necessitating purification rituals.
