Strong's Lexicon nachats: To press, drive, oppress Original Word: נָחַץ Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts of oppression or pressure is "θλίβω" (thlibo - Strong's Greek 2346), which also means to press or afflict. Usage: The Hebrew verb "nachats" primarily conveys the idea of pressing or driving, often in the context of exerting pressure or oppression. It can refer to physical pressure or metaphorical oppression, such as the burden placed upon individuals or groups by external forces. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of oppression was a significant theme, both in terms of foreign domination and social injustice within the community. The Israelites experienced oppression under various foreign powers, including the Egyptians, Babylonians, and Assyrians. Social justice was a critical concern in the Mosaic Law, which sought to protect the vulnerable from being oppressed by the powerful.
