In Exodus 35:26, we read the description of the Israelite women’s contribution to the building of the Tabernacle, “All the women whose heart stirred them up with wisdom spun the goat hair.” The English word “stirred” is a translation of the Hebrew, nasa (נשא). This verb appears 655 times in the Hebrew Bible. As you might expect, we will explore its nuances, but nasa has basically three general meanings:
“to lift up,”
“to bear, carry, support,” and
“to take, take away.”

Lifting something implies movement from a lower place to a higher place. In some senses, the movement can involve a restoration to a previous condition. We see this in Joseph’s words to Pharaoh’s cupbearer, “In another three days, Pharaoh will lift up [yissa] your head and restore you to your position” (Genesis 40:13). Of course, the elevation of the heart isn’t always a positive thing (context matters!). Consider the admonishment King Jehoash of Israel sent to King Amaziah of Judah: “You have indeed defeated Edom, and your heart has become arrogant [unesa'acha]. Glory and stay at home! Why should you provoke trouble and cause your own downfall—you and Judah with you?” (2 Kings 14:10).

The verb ברך appears 330 times in the Hebrew Bible, and we find its nominalization ברכה another 70. In analyzing this word, we should underscore what one lexical source notes: the verbal root has an unusually wide range of meanings, “blaspheme, bless, congratulate, curse, kneel (down), praise, salute, thank.” Therefore, in the reader’s quest to discern the author’s intent, context is king. It should go without saying, but in light of its growing popularity, we should note that the Aaronic benediction, “ADONAI bless [yevarechcha] you and keep you!” (Numbers 6:24), is not commanding the Almighty to bow down and serve you. That particular teaching (yes, someone suggested this!) is a good case study on why accurate word studies are necessary. With this in mind, let us explore this critical Hebrew term.

A significant issue with the word berakah is its slightly vacuous meaning, both in Hebrew and English. God blesses us, which has its own set of meanings. We bless God, which has a very different set of meanings. And then we bless each other, a phenomenon with meanings that lands between the other two.

Come and learn about one of the least talked about aspects of the gospel of our Lord: The Time of the Gentiles.

Hanukkah is a celebration of an anagogical event foretold by the prophets (Daniel 13:1-3), preached by Christ in the gospels (Luke 21:24), and confirmed in the revelation of Christ (Rev 11:2).

Come and see the prophetic significance behind the Feast of Dedication (Hanukkah) that Yeshua (Jesus) celebrated and why it’s relevant to all of us today! 🙏🏾

At that time the Feast of the Dedication took place at Jerusalem; it was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple in the portico of Solomon.
— John 10:22-23

Last week’s Torah portion also featured the word zera: “Then God said, ‘Let the land sprout grass, green plants yielding seed [zera], fruit trees making fruit, each according to its species with seed in it, upon the land.’ And it happened so” (Genesis 1:11).

In verb form, zara refers to the action of sowing seed in the fields, as seen in Genesis 26:12, “Then Isaac sowed [Vayyizra] in that land and in that year reaped a hundredfold. ADONAI blessed him.” As you undoubtedly recall from grammar school, verbs refer to actions, while nouns refer to persons, places, or things. God’s promise to Abram in Genesis 12 concerned “persons,” specifically persons that would physically come from Abram and Sarai. Famously, this couple was not only barren, but they were also advanced in years—a detail that made God’s promise outlandish to the natural mind. After all, the promise of zera is what causes both of them to laugh—Abraham in Genesis 17:17 and Sarah in Genesis 18:12.
