It is used to describe the emotional support and solace offered to those who are mourning or experiencing hardship. The concept of comfort in the Hebrew Bible is deeply connected to the presence and promises of God, who is often depicted as the ultimate source of comfort for His people.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, mourning and lamentation were significant communal activities. Comforting the bereaved was an important social and religious duty. The practice of offering comfort was not only a personal gesture but also a reflection of the community's solidarity and shared faith in God's providence. The Hebrew understanding of comfort goes beyond mere words, encompassing actions and a presence that reassures and uplifts the spirit.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/5162.htm">nacham</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>comfort, compassion<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>comfort (1), comforting (1), compassions (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">נִחוּם</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>1</b></font> <em>comfort</em>, plural <font class="hebrew2">נִחֻמִים</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/57-18.htm">Isaiah 57:18</a>;
