Strong's Lexicon nagar: To flow, pour out, gush forth Original Word: נָגַר Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "nagar," the concept of flowing or pouring out can be related to Greek words such as "ἐκχέω" (ekcheo - G1632), meaning to pour out or shed. Usage: The Hebrew verb "nagar" primarily conveys the action of flowing or pouring out, often used in the context of liquids such as water. It can also imply a sense of gushing forth or being poured out in abundance. This term is used metaphorically in the Scriptures to describe the outpouring of emotions, blessings, or divine judgment. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, water was a vital and precious resource, often symbolizing life, blessing, and sustenance. The imagery of water flowing or being poured out would resonate deeply with an agrarian society dependent on rainfall and water sources for survival. The concept of "nagar" would evoke thoughts of abundance, fertility, and divine provision, as well as the potential for destruction when associated with floods or torrents.
