Strong's Lexicon nacak: To pour out, to cast, to anoint, to set up Original Word: נָסַךְ Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1637 (elaion) - oil, often used in the context of anointing - G4687 (rheo) - to pour, to flow Usage: The Hebrew verb "nacak" primarily means to pour out, often in the context of pouring out a liquid offering or libation. It can also mean to cast or set up, particularly in the context of setting up an image or idol. Additionally, it is used in the sense of anointing, which involves pouring oil over someone or something as a form of consecration. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, pouring out a libation was a common practice in religious rituals. Libations were often part of sacrificial offerings, where wine or oil was poured out as an act of worship and dedication to God. This practice was not unique to Israel but was common in many ancient Near Eastern cultures. The act of anointing, which also involves pouring, was significant in consecrating priests, kings, and sacred objects, symbolizing the setting apart for a holy purpose.
