It is used in contexts where there is a need for emotional relief or solace, often following distress or grief. Additionally, "naham" can imply a change of mind or repentance, particularly in the context of God relenting or changing His course of action in response to human behavior.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, expressions of comfort were significant in communal and religious life. Mourning and lamentation were common practices, and offering comfort was a vital social and religious duty. The concept of repentance, or a change of heart, was also central to the covenant relationship between God and His people, reflecting a dynamic interaction where human actions could influence divine response.<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 growl, groan<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>groan (2), growl (1), growls (1), roaring (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">נָהַם</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>growl, groan</b></font> (Late Hebrew id.; Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb062501.gif">; Aramaic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb062502.gif">, <font class="hebrew2">נְהַם</font>); — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Qal</b></font> <em>Perfect</em> <font class="hebrew2">וְנָהַמְתָּ֫</font> <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/5-11.htm">Proverbs 5:11</a>; <font class="hebrew2">וּנְהַמְתֶּם</font> <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/24-23.htm">Ezekiel 24:23</a>; <em>Imperfect</em> <font class="hebrew2">יִנְהֹם</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/5-29.htm">Isaiah 5:29,30</a>; <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Participle</b></font> <font class="hebrew2">נֹהֵם</font> <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/28-15.htm">Proverbs 28:15</a>; — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>1</b></font> <em>growl</em>, of a lion (namely while it is devouring its prey: opposed to <font class="hebrew2">שׁאנ</font>, of <em>roar</em> with which it springs upon it RS<sup>Proph. 243</sup>) <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/28-15.htm">Proverbs 28:15</a>, of Assyr.
