Strong's Lexicon naah: To be beautiful, befitting, suitable Original Word: נָאָה Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Greek 2570: καλός (kalos) – meaning beautiful, good, or noble. - Strong's Greek 2140: εὐπρεπής (euprepes) – meaning suitable, proper, or becoming. Usage: The Hebrew verb "na'ah" primarily conveys the idea of beauty or suitability. It is often used in contexts where something is deemed appropriate or fitting, particularly in relation to God's creation or His dwelling place. The term can also imply a sense of moral or spiritual beauty, reflecting the inherent goodness or righteousness of something. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, beauty was often associated with order, harmony, and suitability. The concept of beauty extended beyond physical appearance to include moral and spiritual dimensions. The Hebrew understanding of beauty was deeply connected to the divine order established by God, where everything had its place and purpose. This perspective is reflected in the use of "na'ah" to describe things that are fitting or appropriate within God's creation.
