It can refer to the growth of a person, a nation, or even the magnification of God's name and deeds. The term is used to describe both positive growth, such as prosperity and blessing, and negative growth, such as pride or arrogance.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern context, growth and increase were often seen as signs of divine favor and blessing. Agricultural societies, like those in ancient Israel, depended heavily on the growth of crops and livestock for survival. Thus, the concept of "sagah" would resonate deeply with the people, symbolizing not only physical abundance but also spiritual and communal prosperity. The idea of growth was also tied to the covenantal promises of God, where Israel's increase was seen as a fulfillment of God's promises to the patriarchs.<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 grow, increase<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>grow (2), increase (1), increased (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">שָׂגָה</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>grow, increase</b></font> (late;
