Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: A primitive root

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: G1392 (δοξάζω • doxazo): While not a direct translation, this Greek term is related in the sense of glorifying or celebrating. It is used in the New Testament to describe the act of giving glory or honor, often in a context of worship or celebration, which parallels the celebratory aspect of נוה in the Hebrew Bible.

Usage: The verb נוה (naveh) is used in the Hebrew Bible to convey the idea of resting or celebrating. It often implies a sense of dwelling or abiding in a place of rest or festivity.

Context: The Hebrew root נוה (naveh) is a versatile term that appears in various contexts throughout the Old Testament. It primarily denotes the concept of resting or dwelling, often in a peaceful or celebratory manner. This root is associated with the idea of a habitation or a place where one finds rest and security. In some instances, it is used to describe the act of celebrating or rejoicing, suggesting a communal or festive gathering.

In the context of the Hebrew Scriptures, נוה can be found in passages that describe the rest and peace that God provides to His people. It is often linked with the imagery of shepherds and their flocks, where the shepherd leads the sheep to a place of rest and safety. This imagery is emblematic of God's care and provision for His people, offering them a place of refuge and celebration.

The term is also used in prophetic literature to describe the future restoration and peace that God promises to His people. In these contexts, נוה conveys a sense of hope and assurance that God will bring His people to a place of rest and joy.

Example from the Berean Standard Bible (BSB): While specific verses using נוה may vary in translation, the concept is often reflected in passages that speak of God's provision of rest and celebration for His people.
