Strong's Lexicon masah: To draw, pull out Original Word: מָסָה Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "masah," the concept of drawing out or delivering can be related to Greek terms such as "exaireō" (G1807), which means to take out or deliver. Usage: The Hebrew verb "masah" primarily means "to draw" or "to pull out." It is often used in the context of drawing something out of water or pulling something from a larger body. This term is notably used in the context of the account of Moses, where it describes the act of drawing him out of the Nile River. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, names often held significant meanings and were sometimes derived from notable events or characteristics. The name "Moses" (Hebrew: מֹשֶׁה, Moshe) is traditionally understood to be derived from "masah," reflecting the event of him being drawn out of the water by Pharaoh's daughter. This act of drawing out not only saved Moses' life but also set the stage for his future role as the deliverer of the Israelites from Egypt.
