Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: A primitive root

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G1808 (ἐξαιρέω, exaireō): To take out, remove, or deliver. This Greek term shares a similar sense of removal or deliverance, often used in the New Testament to describe God's action of delivering or rescuing.
• G1856 (ἐκκόπτω, ekkoptō): To cut out, cut off, or remove. This term is used in the New Testament to describe the act of cutting off or removing, often in the context of judgment or separation.

The Hebrew verb נָסַח (nasach) thus encapsulates a theme of removal or separation, often under divine auspices, reflecting the broader biblical narrative of covenant, judgment, and restoration.

Usage: The verb נָסַח (nasach) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the action of tearing away or removing something, often with a sense of force or separation. It can refer to physical removal or metaphorical separation.

Context: • The Hebrew verb נָסַח (nasach) appears in various contexts within the Old Testament, often conveying the idea of forcibly removing or tearing something away. This action can be applied to physical objects, such as tearing away a garment or removing a person from a place, as well as to more abstract concepts, such as the removal of a kingdom or authority.
• In Deuteronomy 28:63, the term is used to describe the LORD's action of uprooting the Israelites from their land as a consequence of disobedience: "Just as it pleased the LORD to make you prosper and multiply, so it will please Him to annihilate you and destroy you. You will be uprooted from the land you are entering to possess."
• The word also appears in 1 Kings 14:15, where it is used to describe the LORD's judgment against Israel: "And the LORD will strike Israel, so that it will be like a reed swaying in the water. He will uproot Israel from this good land that He gave to their fathers and scatter them beyond the Euphrates, because they have made their Asherah poles, provoking the LORD to anger."
• The concept of נָסַח (nasach) often carries a connotation of divine judgment or intervention, where God is the one who enacts the removal or tearing away as a response to human actions.
