Strong's Lexicon nagaph: To strike, smite, injure, plague Original Word: נָגַף Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "nagaph," the concept of striking or smiting can be found in Greek words such as "πατάσσω" (patassō - Strong's Greek 3960), which means to strike or smite. Usage: The Hebrew verb "nagaph" primarily means to strike or smite, often with the connotation of inflicting a blow that causes injury or defeat. It is used in various contexts, including physical combat, divine judgment, and the infliction of plagues or diseases. The term can imply both literal and figurative striking, such as the defeat of enemies or the punishment of individuals or nations by God. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, physical combat and warfare were common, and the concept of being struck down by an enemy or by divine intervention was a familiar theme. The Israelites understood their covenant relationship with God to include both blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience, which often manifested as plagues or military defeat. The use of "nagaph" in the Hebrew Bible reflects this understanding of divine retribution and protection.
