It is often used in legal contexts within the Old Testament to describe the consequences of actions that result in loss or injury to another person or their property. The term underscores the importance of justice and restitution in the community.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite society, the concept of "nezeq" was integral to the legal system, which was based on the principles of justice and restitution as outlined in the Torah. The Law of Moses provided detailed instructions on how to handle cases of damage and injury, emphasizing the need for fair compensation and restoration. This reflects the broader Ancient Near Eastern legal traditions, where community harmony and personal responsibility were highly valued.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/5141.htm">nezem</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>injury, damage<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>annoyance (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">נֶ֫זֶק</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>injury, damage</b></font> (Aramaic loan-word see Biblical Aramaic); — only construct <font class="hebrew2">כְּנֶזֶק הַמֶּלֶךְ</font> <a href="/interlinear/esther/7-4.htm">Esther 7:4</a> <em>at the price of injury to the king.</em> <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>damage <p>From an unused root meaning to injure; loss -- damage. <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>בְּנֵ֥זֶק בנזק bə·nê·zeq beNezek bənêzeq<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/esther/7-4.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Esther 7:4</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/esther/7.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">הַצָּ֛ר שֹׁוֶ֖ה <b> בְּנֵ֥זֶק </b> הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃ ס</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/esther/7.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> would not be commensurate <span class="itali">with the annoyance</span> to the king.<br><a href="/kjvs/esther/7.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> the king's <span class="itali">damage.</span><br><a href="/interlinear/esther/7-4.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> the trouble not be commensurate <span class="itali">the annoyance</span> to the king<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5143.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5143.htm">Strong's Hebrew 5143<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/benezek_5143.htm">bə·nê·zeq — 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/5142.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="5142"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="5142" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/5144.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="5144"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="5144" /></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>
