Strong's Lexicon naveh: Dwelling, habitation, pasture, abode Original Word: נָוֶה Word Origin: From the root נָוָה (navah), which means to rest or dwell. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2733 (katoikētērion) - dwelling place - G4638 (skēnē) - tent, tabernacle Usage: The Hebrew word "naveh" primarily refers to a dwelling place or habitation. It is often used to describe a place of rest or a home, particularly in the context of pastoral settings. The term can also imply a sense of beauty and tranquility, often associated with the dwelling places of shepherds or the abodes of the righteous. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of a "naveh" was closely tied to the pastoral lifestyle. Shepherds would lead their flocks to green pastures, which were considered ideal dwelling places due to their provision and safety. The imagery of a "naveh" often evokes a sense of peace and divine provision, reflecting the agrarian society's dependence on the land and God's blessings for sustenance and security.
