Strong's Lexicon Nochah: Before, in front of, opposite Original Word: נוֹחָה Word Origin: Derived from the root נָכַח (nakach), which means "to be straightforward" or "to be in front of." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for "Nochah" is ἀπέναντι (apénanti), which also means "opposite" or "before." Usage: The Hebrew word "Nochah" is used to denote a position or orientation that is directly in front of or opposite something. It conveys the idea of being straightforward or directly facing something. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it often describes spatial relationships, indicating where something is located in relation to another object or person. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, spatial orientation was significant, especially in terms of worship and ritual practices. The concept of being "before" or "in front of" something often carried connotations of respect, attention, or focus. For example, being "before" the Lord in worship or prayer was a position of reverence and submission. The use of "Nochah" in the Hebrew Bible reflects these cultural values, emphasizing the importance of direct and intentional positioning, whether in physical space or in relational dynamics.
