Strong's Lexicon naggach: To gore, to push, to thrust Original Word: נַגָּח Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "naggach" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as the concept of goring is specific to the Hebrew context of livestock laws. Usage: The Hebrew verb "naggach" primarily means to gore, as with the horns of an animal, typically an ox. It conveys the action of thrusting or pushing with force, often resulting in injury or death. This term is used in the context of describing the behavior of animals, particularly in legal texts concerning the responsibility of an animal owner. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, oxen and other livestock were integral to agricultural life. The Law of Moses included specific regulations regarding the behavior of animals and the responsibilities of their owners. If an ox gored a person, the owner could be held liable, especially if the ox was known to be dangerous. This reflects the broader principle of communal responsibility and the importance of maintaining safety and order within the community.
