These Greek terms reflect similar concepts of retreating or withdrawing, often used in the New Testament to describe physical movement or a change in direction, both literally and figuratively.

Usage: The verb נָסַג (nasag) is used in the context of retreating or withdrawing, often in a military or confrontational setting. It conveys the action of moving backward or stepping away from a position.

Context: The Hebrew verb נָסַג (nasag) appears in the Old Testament to describe the act of retreating or withdrawing, typically in a physical or metaphorical sense. This term is often used in contexts where individuals or groups are depicted as moving back from a position, whether due to fear, strategic withdrawal, or divine intervention.

In the Berean Standard Bible, the concept of retreating is illustrated in various passages where the Israelites or other groups are described as pulling back from a confrontation or battle. The term can also be used metaphorically to describe a spiritual or moral retreat, where individuals or nations are depicted as moving away from righteousness or divine favor.

The usage of נָסַג (nasag) underscores the themes of humility, submission, and the recognition of divine authority, as retreating often implies acknowledging a greater power or the need for strategic repositioning. This verb highlights the dynamic nature of human interaction with the divine and the physical world, where retreat can be both a tactical decision and a spiritual necessity.
