[נֵ֫צַח] noun masculine juice of grapes, figurative of blood, gore; — only suffix נִצְחָם Isaiah 63:3,6.

Word Origin: Derived from the root נָצַח (natsach), which means to shine, be bright, or to be preeminent.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Greek Number 1098 • γλεύκος (gleukos): This Greek term is used in the New Testament to refer to sweet new wine or grape juice, similar to the Hebrew נֵצַח (netsach) in its connotation of freshness and abundance.

Usage: In the context of the Hebrew Bible, נֵצַח (netsach) is used to denote the juice of the grape, often in a metaphorical sense, symbolizing abundance, blessing, or the enduring nature of God's provision.

Context: The Hebrew word נֵצַח (netsach) appears in the Old Testament with a nuanced meaning that extends beyond its literal sense of grape juice. It is often associated with the idea of something that is enduring or everlasting, reflecting the root's implication of perpetuity. This term is used in various contexts to convey the richness and abundance of God's blessings, as seen in the metaphorical use of grape juice, which was a staple and a symbol of prosperity in ancient Israelite culture.

In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is translated in a way that captures both its literal and metaphorical meanings. For instance, in passages where the abundance of the land is described, נֵצַח (netsach) may be used to emphasize the enduring nature of God's provision and the prosperity of His people. The imagery of grape juice serves as a powerful symbol of life, sustenance, and divine favor.

The use of נֵצַח (netsach) in the Hebrew Bible underscores the cultural and religious significance of vineyards and grape products in ancient Israel. Vineyards were not only a source of physical nourishment but also a representation of spiritual blessings and the covenant relationship between God and His people.
