Usage: The verb נָחַל (nachal) is used in various contexts in the Hebrew Bible, primarily related to the concepts of inheritance and possession. It often describes the act of receiving an inheritance, distributing land or property, or occupying a territory. The term can also imply the act of bequeathing or instating someone into a position or possession. Context: נָחַל (nachal) is a significant term in the Hebrew Bible, frequently appearing in contexts related to the inheritance of land, particularly in the narratives concerning the Israelites' settlement in the Promised Land. The concept of inheritance is central to the covenantal promises made to the patriarchs, where God promises land to Abraham and his descendants. This term is used to describe the fulfillment of these promises as the Israelites take possession of Canaan. For example, in Deuteronomy 1:38, the term is used when God instructs Joshua to lead the people into the land to inherit it: "But your assistant Joshua son of Nun will enter it. Encourage him, for he will enable Israel to inherit the land." (BSB) In the book of Numbers, נָחַל is used in the context of dividing the land among the tribes of Israel: "You are to divide the land among yourselves by lot according to your clans. To a larger group give a larger inheritance, and to a smaller group a smaller one." (Numbers 33:54, BSB) The term also appears in the Psalms and Proverbs, often metaphorically, to describe the inheritance of wisdom or the blessings of the righteous. For instance, Proverbs 3:35 states, "The wise will inherit honor, but fools are held up to shame." (BSB) נָחַל (nachal) thus encapsulates both the physical act of receiving land and the broader spiritual and communal implications of inheritance in the biblical tradition.
