It is used to describe a deep, abiding love that is often relational and covenantal in nature. This term is less common than other Hebrew words for love, such as "ahav" (אָהַב), but it carries a similar depth of meaning, emphasizing a strong emotional bond.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, love was not merely an emotion but an action and commitment. The concept of love was deeply intertwined with covenant relationships, such as those between God and His people, or between individuals in familial or marital contexts. The Hebrew understanding of love often involved loyalty, faithfulness, and a sense of duty, reflecting the covenantal nature of many relationships in the biblical narrative.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to cast a lot<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>cast (3).<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> I.
