It is often used in contexts where God expresses His pleasure or acceptance of offerings, sacrifices, or individuals. The term can also imply a sense of delight or satisfaction.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of divine acceptance was central to religious life. Offerings and sacrifices were a significant part of worship, and the acceptance of these by God was a sign of His favor. The term "ratsa" reflects this cultural emphasis on seeking God's pleasure and approval, which was often associated with covenantal blessings and a harmonious relationship with the divine.<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 bore, pierce<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>pierce (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">רָצַע</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>bore, pierce</b></font> (Late Hebrew = Biblical Hebrew;
