Topical Lexicon
Overview

Strong’s Hebrew 5066, nāgaš, is a dynamic verb of movement denoting “drawing near, stepping forward, presenting oneself or something.” The contexts range from intimate conversations to military engagement, and from priestly ministry to the approach of God Himself. The verb therefore becomes a key theological thread: it describes how sinners may (or may not) come near to the Holy One, how God graciously comes near to His people, and how covenant life is lived out in worship, justice, and warfare.

Approach to the Holy One

The earliest appearances emphasize reverent nearness. Abraham intercedes, “Abraham approached Him and said, ‘Will You really sweep away the righteous with the wicked?’” (Genesis 18:23). Moses recounts Sinai: “You came near and stood at the foot of the mountain” (Deuteronomy 4:11). Such scenes establish nāgaš as the proper stance of finite creatures before the infinite God—bold yet trembling, permitted yet bounded.

Intercessory Approach

Nāgaš regularly frames appeals for mercy. Judah “approached him [Joseph] and said, ‘Please, my lord, may your servant speak a word…’” (Genesis 44:18). Elijah “stepped forward” before the altar at Carmel to plead for fire (1 Kings 18:36). The righteous one draws near not on merit but on covenant promises, foreshadowing the ultimate Intercessor (Hebrews 7).

Approach in Worship and Sacrifice

In Leviticus the word governs the presentation of offerings. “When anyone among you brings an offering (yāqrîb)… let him present (nāgaš) it” (Leviticus 1:2-3). Israelites do not invent worship; they draw near in the prescribed way—through substitutionary blood and priestly mediation. Unauthorized approach (Leviticus 10:1-2; Numbers 16:40) brings death, underscoring holiness and pointing to the perfect sacrifice required for true access (Hebrews 10:19-22).

Priestly and Levitical Service

God commands, “Have your brothers the Levites… come near to you and assist you” (Numbers 18:2). Priests “come near to minister” (Ezekiel 44:15). Nāgaš defines vocation: the priest’s life is one of continual nearness for others’ sake. Their privileges and restrictions anticipate the believer’s priesthood in Christ.

Approach for Judgment

Covenantal justice is carried out as the complainant “approaches” the court (Deuteronomy 25:1), armies “draw near” for battle (Judges 20:23; 1 Samuel 17:40), and executioners “come near” the condemned (2 Samuel 1:15). The Day of the Lord is heralded with the same vocabulary: “Woe to you who long for the Day of the Lord! … The Day of the Lord is darkness” (Amos 5:18; cf. Nahum 1:15). The verb thereby warns that to approach God unrepentant is perilous.

Approach in Warfare and Confrontation

Military usage stresses decisive engagement—Goliath “kept coming closer to David” (1 Samuel 17:41). Armies “drew near” fortified cities (Joshua 8:5). Such texts reveal that covenant faith is lived amid real conflict; Yahweh draws near as warrior to save (Isaiah 41:1).

Approach in Human Relationships

Nāgaš also describes quotidian nearness: Jacob urges, “Come near so I can feel you, my son” (Genesis 27:21). Ruth “approached quietly” and lay at Boaz’s feet (Ruth 3:7). The verb colors narrations of affection, confrontation, diplomacy, and hospitality, reminding readers that covenant life includes ordinary relationships sanctified by God’s presence.

Divine Approach to His People

Strikingly, God is subject of nāgaš: “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted” (Psalm 34:18); “You drew near when I called on You; You said, ‘Do not fear’” (Lamentations 3:57). Judgment or salvation hinges on whether God approaches in wrath or grace (Isaiah 41:5-10; Zephaniah 3:2). The Incarnation fulfills the pattern—Immanuel, “God with us,” authorizes the New Covenant summons, “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you” (James 4:8).

Eschatological Horizon

Prophets join nāgaš to future hope: “Many nations will join themselves to the Lord in that day and will become My people” (Zechariah 2:11). The ultimate assembly sees every redeemed saint “brought near” through the blood of the Lamb (Revelation 7:9-17; echoing Ephesians 2:13).

Ministry Application

1. Worship: Biblical worship centers on drawing near through Christ alone; every service echoes Leviticus.
2. Prayer: Intercessors, like Abraham and Elijah, plead boldly yet humbly.
3. Holiness: Unauthorized approaches warn against casual treatment of divine things.
4. Mission: God’s nearness motivates outreach—inviting the nations to approach the throne of grace.
5. Pastoral Care: The verb models compassionate presence; shepherds “come near” the hurting as God does.

Nāgaš therefore binds Scripture together: the God who is holy yet approachable makes a way for His people to come near, and He Himself steps forward to redeem, judge, and dwell among them forever.
