Strong's Lexicon natha: To stretch out, extend, incline, bend Original Word: נָתַע Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for "natha" is ἐκτείνω (ekteino), which also means to stretch out or extend. Usage: The Hebrew verb "natha" primarily means to stretch out or extend. It is often used in the context of extending one's hand, stretching out a tent, or inclining one's ear. The term conveys a sense of reaching out or making something accessible or available. It can also imply bending or inclining, suggesting a movement towards something or someone. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the act of stretching out one's hand or extending something was often symbolic of offering, protection, or judgment. For example, stretching out a hand could signify an offer of help or an act of aggression. The imagery of stretching out a tent is rooted in the nomadic lifestyle of the Israelites, where tents were a central part of daily life. Inclining one's ear is a metaphor for listening attentively, a valued trait in a culture that emphasized oral tradition and wisdom.
