Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for "nasag" is καταλαμβάνω (katalambanō), which also means to seize, overtake, or apprehend.

Usage: The Hebrew verb "nasag" primarily means to reach or overtake. It conveys the idea of pursuing something until it is caught or attained. This term is often used in contexts where one party is pursuing another, whether in a physical chase or in a metaphorical sense of achieving a goal or fulfilling a promise.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of pursuit and overtaking was common in both military and everyday life. The Israelites, often engaged in battles and territorial expansions, would have been familiar with the idea of pursuing enemies to overtake them. Additionally, the term can be applied to the pursuit of spiritual or moral goals, reflecting the Hebrew understanding of life as a journey toward fulfilling God's promises and commandments.
