Berean Strong's Lexicon Naaman: Naaman Original Word: נַעֲמָן Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root נָעֵם (na'em), meaning "to be pleasant" or "to be delightful." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Naaman in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as Naaman is a proper name specific to the Hebrew Bible. However, the account of Naaman is referenced in the New Testament in Luke 4:27, where Jesus mentions Naaman as an example of God's grace extending beyond Israel. Usage: Naaman is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It means "pleasantness" or "pleasant one." Naaman is most notably recognized as the commander of the army of the king of Aram (Syria) who was healed of leprosy by the prophet Elisha. Cultural and Historical Background: Naaman was a prominent figure in the ancient Near East, serving as a high-ranking military official under the king of Aram. Despite his status and success, he suffered from leprosy, a condition that was not only physically debilitating but also socially isolating. His account is set during a time when Israel and Aram had a complex relationship, often marked by conflict and uneasy peace. The narrative of Naaman highlights the interactions between Israel and its neighbors and underscores the power of the God of Israel over all nations.
