◄ 5183. Nachath ►
Strong's Lexicon Nachath: Rest, quietness, tranquility, satisfaction Original Word: נַחַת Part of Speech: Noun Transliteration: Nachath Pronunciation: NAH-khath Phonetic Spelling: (nakh'-ath) Definition: a descent, imposition, unfavorable, favorable, restfulness Meaning: The term נַחַת (naḥat) encompasses a range of meanings including "a descent," "imposition," "unfavorable," "favorable," and "restfulness." It conveys both physical and metaphorical senses of descending or settling, as well as states of tranquility or imposition. Word Origin: Derived from the root נוּחַ (nuach), which means "to rest" or "to settle." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry in Strong's Concordance is G2372 (θυμός, thymos), which often refers to passion, anger, or wrath. While the Greek term primarily conveys a sense of intense emotion, it can also relate to states of rest or unrest, similar to the dual nature of נַחַת (naḥat) in its various contexts. Usage: The word נַחַת (naḥat) is used in various contexts within the Hebrew Bible, often to describe a state of rest or tranquility, but also in contexts implying a descent or imposition. It can be used to describe both favorable and unfavorable conditions, depending on the context. Context: נַחַת (naḥat) appears in the Hebrew Bible to describe both literal and figurative descents or states of rest. In some instances, it refers to a physical descent, such as coming down from a high place. In other contexts, it is used metaphorically to describe a state of restfulness or tranquility, often associated with peace or contentment. The term can also imply an imposition or burden, reflecting an unfavorable condition. The dual nature of the word highlights the complexity of its usage, where context determines whether it conveys a positive or negative connotation. For example, in Proverbs 29:9, the word is used to describe a situation of rest or quietness, indicating a favorable condition: "If a wise man goes to court with a fool, there will be raving and ridicule, but no resolution." Here, the absence of נַחַת (naḥat) implies a lack of peace or restfulness.
