Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root נָחַשׁ (nachash), meaning "to practice divination" or "to hiss."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the proper noun Nachash, as it is a specific personal name in the Hebrew Bible without a direct Greek equivalent. However, the concept of a "serpent" or "diviner" can be related to Greek terms such as δράκων (drakōn, Strong's Greek 1404) for "dragon" or "serpent," and μάντις (mantis, Strong's Greek 3132) for "diviner" or "soothsayer." Usage: The name Nachash appears in the Old Testament as a proper noun, specifically referring to a king of the Ammonites. Context: Nachash is a proper noun found in the Hebrew Bible, specifically referring to a king of the Ammonites. He is most notably mentioned in the context of his interactions with the Israelites during the time of King Saul. In 1 Samuel 11:1, Nachash besieges Jabesh-gilead, a city in Israel, and offers the inhabitants a harsh treaty that would involve gouging out the right eye of every man, thereby bringing disgrace upon all Israel. The people of Jabesh-gilead request a seven-day respite to seek help from the rest of Israel. Upon hearing of this, Saul rallies the Israelites, and they successfully defeat Nachash and his forces, liberating Jabesh-gilead.
