Strong's Lexicon nashal: To draw off, to slip off, to remove Original Word: נָשַׁל Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "nashal," the concept of removing or taking off can be related to Greek terms such as ἀποτίθημι (apotithēmi - to put off, lay aside) found in passages like Ephesians 4:22, which speaks of putting off the old self. Usage: The Hebrew verb "nashal" primarily means to slip off or to remove, often used in the context of taking off shoes or other items. It conveys the action of shedding or discarding something, typically in a physical sense. The term can also imply a sense of separation or detachment. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the act of removing one's shoes was often associated with entering a holy space or showing respect and humility. For example, when Moses approached the burning bush, he was instructed to remove his sandals because he was standing on holy ground (Exodus 3:5). This cultural practice underscores the significance of "nashal" as an act of reverence and acknowledgment of the sacred.
