Usage: The Hebrew verb "nasach" primarily means to pour out, often in the context of libations or drink offerings. It can also mean to cast or set up, particularly in the context of idols or images. Additionally, it is used in the sense of anointing, which involves pouring oil over someone or something as a form of consecration.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, pouring out a drink offering was a common practice in religious rituals. These libations were often part of sacrificial ceremonies, symbolizing the offering of one's life or resources to God. The act of anointing with oil was also significant, used to consecrate priests, kings, and sacred objects, marking them as set apart for divine purposes. The casting or setting up of idols was a practice associated with pagan worship, which the Israelites were repeatedly warned against.
