It is often used in contexts where individuals or groups are experiencing distress, sorrow, or loss, and there is a need for emotional or spiritual solace. The term reflects a deep sense of empathy and the act of providing relief from grief or trouble.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, comfort was a communal and spiritual practice. Mourning and grief were often expressed publicly, and the community played a significant role in providing support. Comfort was not only about alleviating sorrow but also about restoring hope and faith in God's promises. Prophets and leaders often spoke words of comfort to remind the people of God's faithfulness and mercy.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/5162.htm">nacham</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>comfort<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>comfort (1), consolation (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">נֶחָמָה</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>comfort</b></font>, suffix <font class="hebrew2">נֶחָמָתִי</font> <a href="/interlinear/psalms/119-50.htm">Psalm 119:50</a>;
