Usage: The Hebrew word "netsach" primarily conveys the idea of perpetuity or eternity, often used to describe something that is everlasting or enduring. It can also imply splendor or glory, particularly in the context of victory or triumph. In the biblical text, "netsach" is used to emphasize the eternal nature of God, His promises, and His kingdom. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of eternity was deeply intertwined with the nature of God and His covenant with Israel.
