It is used in contexts where there is a need for emotional support or relief from grief and sorrow. Additionally, "naham" can imply a change of mind or repentance, often in the context of God relenting from sending judgment or individuals turning away from sin.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, expressions of comfort were significant in communal and familial settings, especially during times of mourning or distress. The concept of repentance was also central to the covenant relationship between God and His people, where turning back to God was seen as a path to restoration and blessing.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/5098.htm">naham</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>growling (of a lion)<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>growling (1), roaring (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">נַ֫הַם</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>growling of lion</b></font>;
