Strong's Lexicon nechilah: Inheritance, possession Original Word: נְחִילָה Word Origin: Derived from the root נָחַל (nachal), which means "to inherit" or "to possess." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for inheritance is κληρονομία (kleronomia), which appears in the New Testament in contexts such as Ephesians 1:14 and Hebrews 9:15, referring to the spiritual inheritance believers have in Christ. Usage: The term "nechilah" refers to an inheritance or possession, often in the context of land or property that is passed down through generations. It is used to describe the portion or allotment given to individuals or tribes, particularly in the context of the Promised Land given to the Israelites. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, inheritance was a crucial aspect of family and tribal identity. Land was not merely a commodity but a divine gift and a sign of God's covenant with His people. The distribution of land among the tribes of Israel was a fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham and his descendants. Inheritance laws ensured that land remained within the family, preserving the tribal structure and heritage.
