It often refers to someone who is not liable for punishment or who is morally blameless. In the context of the Old Testament, it can also imply being free from the consequences of sin or wrongdoing.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite society, the concept of innocence was closely tied to the legal and religious systems. Being declared "nakeh" meant that an individual was not subject to punishment under the law. This concept was important in maintaining social order and justice. The idea of innocence also had religious significance, as it related to one's standing before God. Sacrificial systems and rituals were in place to atone for sins and restore individuals to a state of innocence.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/5221.htm">nakah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>smitten, stricken<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>contrite (1), crippled (2).<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">נָכֵה</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>adjective</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>smitten, stricken</b></font> (compare [<font class="hebrew2">נָכָא</font>]);
