Strong's Lexicon nachir: Foreign, strange, unfamiliar Original Word: נְחִיר Word Origin: Derived from the root נָכַר (nakar), which means "to recognize" or "to discern." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Old Testament) for similar concepts is ἀλλότριος (allotrios), which also means "foreign" or "strange." Usage: The term "nachir" is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe something that is foreign or unfamiliar. It often refers to people, objects, or practices that are outside the covenant community of Israel. The word carries a connotation of being different or alien, sometimes with a negative implication of being contrary to the ways of God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of being "foreign" or "strange" was significant due to the covenant relationship between God and the Israelites. The Israelites were called to be a distinct people, set apart from the surrounding nations. This distinction was not only religious but also cultural and social. Foreign practices, especially those related to idolatry, were often seen as threats to the purity and faithfulness of the Israelite community.
