Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root נָעַם (na'am), which means "to be pleasant" or "to be delightful."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2143 (εὐάρεστος, euarestos): Meaning "well-pleasing" or "acceptable." Usage: This word is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe something that is pleasing or agreeable, often in the context of music, speech, or the general quality of being pleasant. Context: • נָעִים (na'im) appears in various contexts throughout the Hebrew Scriptures, often conveying a sense of beauty or pleasantness. It is used to describe the sweetness of music, as seen in 1 Samuel 16:23, where David's harp playing is described as soothing to Saul. In Psalm 133:1, the term is used to express the beauty of unity among brethren: "How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in harmony!" (BSB). The word also appears in Psalm 147:1, highlighting the delightfulness of praising the Lord: "How pleasant it is to praise Him!" (BSB). The usage of נָעִים underscores the aesthetic and emotional appeal of experiences or qualities that are agreeable and satisfying to the senses or spirit.
