Usage: The Hebrew verb "nud" primarily conveys the idea of moving or wandering, often with a sense of instability or restlessness. It can describe physical movement, such as wandering or fleeing, as well as emotional states like lamenting or showing grief. The term can also imply a shaking or nodding motion, often associated with mourning or expressing sympathy.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, physical gestures were significant in expressing emotions and intentions. The act of nodding or shaking the head was a common way to show grief or disapproval. The concept of wandering or being a fugitive was also prevalent, reflecting the nomadic lifestyle of many ancient Near Eastern peoples and the consequences of sin or divine judgment, which often resulted in exile or displacement.
