Usage: The Hebrew word "netsach" primarily conveys the idea of perpetuity or eternity. It is often used to describe something that is everlasting or enduring. In some contexts, it can also refer to splendor or glory, emphasizing the enduring nature of God's majesty or the eternal aspect of His promises.
