It implies a deep, contemplative pondering, often associated with the murmuring or quiet recitation of thoughts or words. In the biblical context, it is frequently related to the meditation on God's law, His works, or His character.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, meditation was not merely an intellectual exercise but a spiritual discipline. It involved the oral recitation and internalization of Scripture, often accompanied by a rhythmic murmuring. This practice was integral to the spiritual life of the Israelites, serving as a means to internalize God's commandments and align one's life with His will. The concept of meditation in the Hebrew tradition is closely tied to the idea of "chewing over" or deeply considering the words of God, allowing them to transform the heart and mind.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from an unused word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a whisper, musing, murmuring<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>groaning (1), musing (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">הָגִיג</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>murmuring</b></font> (Che), whisper, musing (on form compare Ba<sup>NB 136</sup>) — only suffix <font class="hebrew2">הֲגִיגִי</font> <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>1</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/psalms/5-2.htm">Psalm 5:2</a> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">בִּינָה ה</font> <em>understand my murmuring</em> (whispering, faint utterance), addressed to <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">י</font>. <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>2</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/psalms/39-4.htm">Psalm 39:4</a> <font class="hebrew2">בַּהֲגִיגִי</font> <em>in my musing</em> i.e. while I was musing. <p><font class="hebrew2">הַגֻּדְגֹּ֫דָה</font> see below <font class="hebrew2">גדד</font> p. 151.<br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>meditation, musing <p>From an unused root akin to <a href="/hebrew/1897.htm">hagah</a>;
