Strong's Lexicon No: Please, now, I pray, I beseech Original Word: נֹא Word Origin: A primitive particle of entreaty or exhortation Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1189 (δέομαι, deomai) - to beg, request, beseech - G2065 (ἐρωτάω, erotao) - to ask, request, entreat Usage: The Hebrew particle "נָא" (na) is used to express a polite request, entreaty, or exhortation. It often appears in contexts where a speaker is making a plea or request, adding a tone of urgency or politeness. It is frequently used in prayers, commands, or when seeking favor or permission. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, politeness and respect were integral to communication, especially in hierarchical relationships such as those between a servant and master, or a subject and king. The use of "נָא" reflects this cultural norm, emphasizing humility and respect in requests. It is a linguistic tool that softens commands or requests, making them more palatable and respectful.
