Part of Speech: Verb

Pronunciation: naw-shaw'
Phonetic Spelling: (naw-shaw')
Definition: To lend, to borrow, to exact, to deceive

- G1151 (δάνειον, daneion): A loan

Usage: The Hebrew verb "nashah" primarily conveys the act of lending or borrowing, often with an implication of interest or usury. It can also mean to exact or demand payment. In some contexts, it carries the connotation of deceiving or beguiling, particularly in financial or relational transactions. The term is used to describe both the act of lending money or goods and the moral implications of such transactions, especially when they involve exploitation or unfair practices.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, lending and borrowing were common practices, often necessary for survival in an agrarian economy. The Torah contains specific laws regarding lending, emphasizing fairness and compassion, particularly towards the poor and vulnerable (e.g., Exodus 22:25, Leviticus 25:35-37). Charging interest to fellow Israelites was generally prohibited, reflecting a broader ethical concern for community welfare and justice. The concept of "nashah" thus encompasses both the practical and moral dimensions of financial dealings in the biblical context.
