Usage: The verb נָסַס (nasas) is used in the context of raising or setting up a signal, standard, or banner. It conveys the idea of lifting something high to be seen from a distance, often for the purpose of gathering people or signaling an important message.

Context: The Hebrew verb נָסַס (nasas) appears in the context of raising a signal or standard, often used metaphorically to indicate a call to gather or to draw attention to a significant event or message. In the ancient Near Eastern context, beacons or standards were used as rallying points for troops or as signals for communication over long distances. The act of raising a beacon was a strategic action, often associated with military or communal gatherings.

In the Berean Standard Bible, the concept of raising a beacon is illustrated in passages where God or His prophets call the people to attention or action. The imagery of a raised standard serves as a powerful symbol of divine intervention or guidance, emphasizing the importance of the message being conveyed.

The use of נָסַס in the Hebrew Bible underscores the importance of visibility and communication in the life of the Israelite community. It reflects the need for clear signals in times of crisis or decision-making, and it highlights the role of leaders in guiding and directing the people according to God's will.
