Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root נָכַח (nakach), which means "to be straightforward" or "to be in front."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence between Hebrew and Greek terms, the concept of "opposite" or "in front of" can be related to Greek terms such as ἀπέναντι (apenanti, Strong's Greek 561) or κατέναντι (katenanti, Strong's Greek 2713), which also convey the idea of being opposite or facing something. Usage: The word נֵכַח (nekhach) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe spatial relationships, particularly in terms of positioning or orientation. It is often used to indicate something that is directly opposite or in front of another object or person. Context: • The term נֵכַח (nekhach) appears in various contexts within the Hebrew Scriptures, often to describe physical positioning or orientation. It is used to convey the idea of being directly in front of or facing something. This can be seen in passages where the positioning of objects, people, or even abstract concepts is described in relation to one another.
