Strong's Lexicon Suach: To meditate, to muse, to ponder Original Word: סוּחַ Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of meditation can be related to Greek words such as "μελετάω" (meletao - G3191), which means to care for, attend to, or practice, often used in the context of meditative reflection. Usage: The Hebrew verb "suach" primarily conveys the act of meditating or musing. It suggests a deep, contemplative thought process, often associated with prayer or reflection. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it implies a quiet, introspective engagement with one's thoughts or with God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, meditation was an integral part of spiritual life. It was not merely an intellectual exercise but a holistic practice involving the heart, mind, and spirit. Meditation was often done in solitude, allowing individuals to connect deeply with God, reflect on His laws, and seek His guidance. This practice was essential for maintaining a personal relationship with God and understanding His will.
