Strong's Lexicon naggach: To gore, to push, to thrust Original Word: נַגָּח Part of Speech: Adjective Transliteration: naggach Pronunciation: nag-gakh' Phonetic Spelling: (nag-gawkh') Definition: butting, vicious Meaning: The term נַגָּח refers to the act of butting or goring, typically associated with the behavior of an ox or other horned animals. It conveys a sense of aggression or viciousness. Word Origin: Derived from the root נָגַח (nagach), which means "to butt" or "to gore." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew נַגָּח (naggach) in the Strong's Concordance. However, related concepts of aggression or violence might be expressed through Greek terms such as ἐπιτίθημι (epitithēmi • Strong's Greek 2007), which means "to lay upon" or "to attack," or θηρίον (thērion • Strong's Greek 2342), meaning "wild beast," which can imply dangerous or aggressive behavior. Usage: The word נַגָּח is used in the context of describing the aggressive behavior of animals, particularly in legal texts concerning the liability of an owner for the actions of their livestock. Context: The Hebrew term נַגָּח (naggach) appears in the context of ancient Israelite law, specifically in the regulations concerning the behavior of oxen. In Exodus 21:28-32, the text outlines the legal responsibilities of an owner if their ox gores a person to death. The passage distinguishes between an ox that has not been known to gore and one that has a history of such behavior. If an ox that is known to be נַגָּח (naggach) kills a person, the owner is held liable, and both the ox and the owner face severe consequences. This reflects the broader principle of accountability and the importance of managing potentially dangerous animals within the community. The term underscores the need for vigilance and responsibility in preventing harm caused by one's property.
