Strong's Lexicon nasag: To reach, overtake, attain Original Word: נָשַׂג Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for "nasag" is καταλαμβάνω (katalambanō), which also means to seize, overtake, or comprehend. Usage: The Hebrew verb "nasag" primarily means to reach or overtake. It conveys the idea of pursuing something until it is caught or attained. This term is often used in contexts where one party is pursuing another, whether in a physical chase or in a metaphorical sense of achieving a goal or fulfilling a promise. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of pursuit and overtaking was common in both military and everyday life. The Israelites, as a nomadic and later settled people, often engaged in pursuits during battles or in hunting. The idea of reaching or overtaking also extended to spiritual and moral pursuits, reflecting the covenantal relationship between God and His people, where blessings and curses were often described in terms of pursuit and attainment.
