Strong's Lexicon nu: To hinder, to refuse, to forbid Original Word: נוּא Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts includes "κωλύω" (koluo), which means to hinder or prevent. Usage: The Hebrew verb "נוּ" (nu) is used to convey the act of hindering or refusing. It often implies a deliberate action to prevent or obstruct something from happening. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it can be used to describe actions where someone is actively stopping or forbidding an event or action. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of hindering or refusing was significant in both legal and social contexts. The ability to refuse or hinder was often associated with authority and power. In a patriarchal society, the head of the family or community leaders had the authority to permit or refuse actions, which could affect familial and communal relationships.
