Strong's Lexicon nachal: To inherit, to possess, to receive as an inheritance Original Word: נָחַל Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2816 (κληρονομέω - kleronomeo): To inherit, to receive as an inheritance - G2817 (κληρονομία - kleronomia): Inheritance, possession Usage: The Hebrew verb "nachal" primarily means to inherit or to possess. It is often used in the context of receiving land or property as an inheritance, particularly in the distribution of the Promised Land among the tribes of Israel. The term can also imply taking possession or receiving something as a rightful heir. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, inheritance was a crucial aspect of family and tribal identity. Land was not merely a possession but a divine gift and a sign of God's covenant with His people. The concept of inheritance was deeply tied to the promises made to the patriarchs, such as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, regarding the land of Canaan. The distribution of land among the tribes was a fulfillment of these promises and was central to maintaining the social and economic structure of Israelite society.
