Strong's Lexicon nasak: To pour out, to cast, to set, to anoint Original Word: נָסַךְ Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1637 (ἐκχέω, ekcheo) - to pour out - G5548 (χρίω, chrio) - to anoint Usage: The Hebrew verb "nasak" primarily means "to pour out" and is often used in the context of pouring out a liquid offering or libation. It can also mean to cast or set, as in the casting of metal or setting up an image. Additionally, it is used in the context of anointing, which involves pouring oil over someone or something as a sign of consecration or dedication. 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 pouring out a libation symbolized the offering of one's life or resources to God. Anointing with oil, another usage of "nasak," was a significant ritual for consecrating priests, kings, and sacred objects, signifying the setting apart for divine service.
