In the context of ancient Israelite worship, a drink offering was often presented alongside other sacrifices, such as burnt offerings or grain offerings, as a means of honoring and appeasing God.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near East, drink offerings were a common element of religious rituals, not only in Israel but also among surrounding cultures. These offerings symbolized the dedication and surrender of one's resources to a deity. In the Israelite tradition, the drink offering was an integral part of the sacrificial system established in the Mosaic Law, reflecting the people's devotion and gratitude to Yahweh. The pouring out of wine signified the complete giving of oneself and one's possessions to God.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/5255.htm">nasach</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to pull away<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>drawn (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">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>pull down <p>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/5255.htm">nacach</a> -- pull down. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/5255.htm">nacach</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>יִתְנְסַ֥ח יתנסח yiṯ·nə·saḥ yitneSach yiṯnəsaḥ<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/ezra/6-11.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Ezra 6:11</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/ezra/6.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">פִּתְגָמָ֣א דְנָ֔ה <b> יִתְנְסַ֥ח </b> אָע֙ מִן־</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/ezra/6.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> a timber <span class="itali">shall be drawn</span> from his house<br><a href="/kjvs/ezra/6.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> let timber <span class="itali">be pulled down</span> from<br><a href="/interlinear/ezra/6-11.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> edict this <span class="itali">shall be drawn</span> A timber from<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5256.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5256.htm">Strong's Hebrew 5256<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/yitnesach_5256.htm">yiṯ·nə·saḥ — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/5255.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="5255"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="5255" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/5257.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="5257"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="5257" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
