Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive rootCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence between Hebrew and Greek terms, the concept of meditation or pondering as expressed by הָגָה (hāgâ) can be related to Greek terms such as μελετάω (meletaō • Strong's Greek 3191), which means "to care for, attend to carefully, practice," and often implies a thoughtful consideration or meditation. Usage: The term is used in various contexts in the Hebrew Bible, including the act of murmuring or speaking softly, meditating or pondering over something, and even roaring or growling in certain contexts. It is often associated with the meditation on God's law or words. Context: • The verb הָגָה (hāgâ) appears in several key passages throughout the Old Testament, illustrating its diverse applications. In Joshua 1:8, it is used to describe the act of meditating on the Book of the Law: "This Book of the Law must not depart from your mouth; you are to meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. For then you will prosper and succeed in all you do" (BSB). Here, the term conveys the idea of continuous reflection and verbal recitation of God's commandments.
