I. נחל (√ of following; compare Arabic Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive rootCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G71 (ἄγω, agō): To lead, bring, carry Usage: The verb נָחָה (nachah) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the act of guiding or leading someone or something. It often conveys the sense of providing direction or showing the way, whether in a physical, moral, or spiritual context. Context: The Hebrew verb נָחָה (nachah) appears in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, emphasizing the role of guidance and leadership. It is frequently used to describe God's guidance of His people, as seen in passages where God leads the Israelites through the wilderness or provides them with moral and spiritual direction. For example, in Exodus 15:13, the text states, "In Your loving devotion You will lead the people You have redeemed; in Your strength You will guide them to Your holy dwelling." This usage underscores the divine role in directing the paths of the faithful.
