Strong's Lexicon massa: Testing, trial, temptation Original Word: מַסַּע Word Origin: Derived from the root נָסָה (nasah), meaning "to test" or "to try." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3986 (peirasmos): Often translated as "temptation" or "trial," this Greek word carries a similar meaning of testing or proving one's faith. Usage: The Hebrew word "massa" primarily refers to a test or trial, often in the context of a challenge to faith or obedience. It is used to describe situations where individuals or groups are put to the test, either by God or by circumstances, to reveal their character or faithfulness. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of testing was integral to the covenant relationship between God and His people. Tests were seen as opportunities for growth and demonstration of faith. The wilderness period, in particular, was a time of testing for the Israelites, where their reliance on God was continually challenged.
