Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root נָסָה (nasah), which means "to test" or "to try."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G3984: πειρασμός (peirasmos) • This Greek term is often translated as "trial" or "temptation" and is used in the New Testament to describe situations of testing or proving, similar to the Hebrew מַסָּה. Usage: The word מַסָּה is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe situations where individuals or groups are tested, either by God or by circumstances. It is also used to describe instances where humans test God, often through doubt or disobedience. Context: • The term מַסָּה is notably used in the context of the Israelites' journey through the wilderness. One of the most significant occurrences is in Exodus 17:7, where the place where the Israelites quarreled and tested the LORD is named Massah, meaning "testing," and Meribah, meaning "quarreling." This event highlights the Israelites' lack of faith and trust in God's provision, as they questioned His presence and care for them.
