Strong's Lexicon nazal: To flow, trickle, drop, distill Original Word: נָזַל Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "nazal," the concept of flowing or pouring can be related to Greek words such as "ῥέω" (rheo - to flow) and "ἐκχέω" (ekcheo - to pour out). Usage: The Hebrew verb "nazal" primarily conveys the action of flowing or trickling, often used to describe the movement of liquids such as water or oil. It can also imply a gentle, continuous flow or distillation. In a broader sense, it can be used metaphorically to describe the outpouring of blessings or the dissemination of teachings. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, water was a precious resource, and its movement was often associated with life, fertility, and divine blessing. The imagery of flowing water is prevalent in the Hebrew Bible, symbolizing sustenance, purification, and the presence of God. The concept of "nazal" would resonate with an agrarian society that depended on the regular flow of water for crops and livestock.
