Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive rootCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Greek Number 680 • ἅπτω (haptō): to touch, to fasten to, to adhere to Usage: The verb מוּשׁ (mûsh) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the act of touching or feeling something. It conveys a sense of physical contact or handling, often implying a tactile interaction with an object or person. Context: The Hebrew verb מוּשׁ (mûsh) appears in various contexts within the Old Testament, illustrating the physical act of touching or handling. It is a primitive root that emphasizes the sensory experience of contact. This term is used in passages where the act of touching is significant, either in a literal or metaphorical sense. For example, in Genesis 27:21, Isaac asks Jacob to come near so he can "touch" him to verify his identity. The act of touching here is crucial for Isaac's discernment. Similarly, in Exodus 19:12, the Israelites are warned not to "touch" the mountain, highlighting the sacredness and the prohibition of physical contact with the holy site. The verb is also used metaphorically to describe the experience of feeling or perceiving something, as seen in Job 23:9, where Job speaks of not being able to "perceive" God. The usage of מוּשׁ (mûsh) throughout the Hebrew Scriptures underscores the importance of physical interaction and the boundaries set around sacred objects and spaces.
