Strong's Lexicon nesa: To lift, carry, bear, take, forgive Original Word: נְשָׂא Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G142 (αἴρω, airo) - to lift, take up, or take away - G863 (ἀφίημι, aphiemi) - to send away, forgive, permit Usage: The Hebrew verb "nesa" primarily means to lift, carry, or bear. It is used in various contexts, including the physical act of lifting or carrying objects, bearing burdens, and metaphorically bearing sins or guilt. It also conveys the idea of taking away or removing, often in the context of forgiveness, where it signifies the removal of sin or guilt. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of bearing or carrying was significant, both in physical and spiritual terms. The act of carrying burdens was a common part of daily life, whether it involved transporting goods or bearing responsibilities. Spiritually, the idea of bearing sin or guilt was central to the sacrificial system, where offerings were made to atone for sins. The notion of God "bearing" or forgiving sins is a profound theological concept, reflecting His mercy and grace.
