Strong's Lexicon nata: To plant, to establish Original Word: נָטַע Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5452 (φυτεύω, phuteuō) - to plant - G1722 (ἐν, en) - in, on, among (used in contexts of planting metaphorically) Usage: The Hebrew verb "nata" primarily means "to plant" in the context of placing seeds or plants into the ground to grow. It is used both literally, in reference to agriculture and horticulture, and metaphorically, to describe the establishment or founding of something, such as a nation or a people. The act of planting implies intention, care, and the expectation of growth and fruitfulness. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, agriculture was a central part of daily life and economy. Planting was not only a physical activity but also carried spiritual significance. The Israelites understood their relationship with God in terms of planting and growth, as seen in the covenantal promises of land and prosperity. The imagery of planting is often used in the Bible to describe God's care for His people, likening them to a vineyard or a garden that He tends.
