Strong's Lexicon nezaq: Damage, harm, injury Original Word: נְזַק Word Origin: Derived from the root נָזַק (nazaq), which means "to damage" or "to harm." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "nezaq," the concept of damage or harm can be related to Greek terms such as ζημία (zēmia - Strong's Greek 2209), which means loss or damage, and βλάβη (blabē - Strong's Greek 988), meaning harm or injury. Usage: The Hebrew word "nezaq" refers to physical or material damage or harm. It is used in contexts where there is a loss or injury, often in legal or relational settings. The term can imply both the act of causing damage and the resulting state of being damaged. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of damage or harm was significant in legal contexts, particularly in the laws concerning restitution and compensation. The Mosaic Law provided detailed instructions on how to handle cases of injury or damage to property, emphasizing justice and fairness. This reflects the broader Ancient Near Eastern legal traditions, where community harmony and restitution were prioritized.
