It is often used in contexts where there is an excessive or inappropriate desire, particularly in a sensual or idolatrous sense. The term suggests a strong, often misguided, emotional attachment or infatuation.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern context, where the Hebrew Bible was written, the concept of lust and inappropriate desires was often linked to idolatry and the worship of foreign gods. Such desires were seen as leading the Israelites away from their covenant relationship with Yahweh. The cultural milieu of the time was rife with fertility cults and practices that were contrary to the worship of the one true God, and "agab" captures the essence of being led astray by such influences.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/5689.htm">agab</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>(sensuous) love<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>lustful desires (1), sensual (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">עָגָב</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>(sensuous) love</b></font> (on form compare Lag<sup>BN 143</sup>);
