Strong's Lexicon minhag: Custom, tradition, conduct Original Word: מִנְהָג Word Origin: Derived from the root נָהַג (nahag), meaning "to drive" or "to lead." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with customs and traditions is ἔθος (ethos), Strong's Greek #1485, which also refers to a custom or habitual practice. Usage: The term "minhag" refers to a custom or tradition, often in the context of cultural or religious practices. It denotes established patterns of behavior or conduct that are passed down through generations. In the biblical context, it can imply the habitual practices of a community or individual. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, customs and traditions played a significant role in daily life and religious practice. These customs were often rooted in the Torah and were integral to maintaining the identity and faith of the Israelite community. Over time, minhagim (plural of minhag) became a way to preserve cultural heritage and religious observance, especially during periods of exile and dispersion.
