Strong's Lexicon naham: To comfort, to console, to repent Original Word: נָחַם Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3870 (παρακαλέω, parakaleo) - to call to one's side, to comfort, to exhort - G3340 (μετανοέω, metanoeo) - to repent, to change one's mind Usage: The Hebrew verb "naham" primarily conveys the idea of comfort and consolation. It is used in contexts where there is a need for emotional support or relief from grief and sorrow.
