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 such qualities. The term is frequently used in the context of God's eternal nature, the enduring quality of His promises, or the perpetual state of certain conditions or truths. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of eternity was deeply intertwined with the nature of God and His covenant with Israel.
