Word Origin: A primitive root

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G1856: ἐκβάλλω (ekballō) • This Greek term shares a similar semantic range with נָדָה, encompassing the ideas of casting out, expelling, or banishing. It is used in the New Testament to describe actions such as driving out demons or expelling individuals from a community, reflecting the continuity of these themes across the biblical canon.

Usage: The term נָדָה is used in various contexts within the Hebrew Bible, often relating to the act of exclusion or separation, whether physical, social, or ceremonial.

Context: • The root נָדָה (nadah) appears in several passages throughout the Old Testament, often in contexts involving separation or exclusion. This can be seen in both literal and figurative senses. For example, it may refer to the physical act of tossing or scattering, as well as the social or ceremonial act of excluding or banishing individuals from a community or group.
• In Levitical law, נָדָה is associated with the concept of ceremonial impurity, where individuals are temporarily excluded from the community due to certain conditions or actions. This reflects the broader theme of holiness and purity within the Israelite community, where separation serves as a means of maintaining communal sanctity.
• The term can also imply a postponement or prohibition, indicating a delay or restriction placed upon an action or event. This usage underscores the authoritative aspect of the term, where the act of נָדָה involves a decision or decree that alters the normal course of events or interactions.
• In prophetic literature, נָדָה may be used metaphorically to describe the scattering of people, often as a consequence of divine judgment. This reflects the broader biblical theme of exile and restoration, where separation serves as both a punishment and a precursor to eventual reconciliation and return.
