Strong's Lexicon natsah: To fight, to struggle, to strive Original Word: נָצָה Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G75 (agonizomai): To struggle, to contend, to fight - G3164 (machomai): To fight, to quarrel Usage: The Hebrew verb "natsah" primarily conveys the idea of engaging in a struggle or conflict. It is often used in contexts where individuals or groups are involved in physical or verbal disputes. The term can also imply a sense of prevailing or enduring in a conflict, highlighting the intensity and persistence required in such situations. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, conflict and struggle were common, whether in the form of physical battles, legal disputes, or personal disagreements. The concept of striving or contending was not only a part of daily life but also a metaphor for spiritual and moral challenges. The Israelites often saw their struggles as part of a larger narrative of God's providence and their covenant relationship with Him. Brown-Driver-Briggs II.
