It is often used to describe young men or the time of life characterized by vigor, strength, and the potential for growth and development. In the biblical context, "noar" can also imply a sense of inexperience or immaturity, highlighting the formative nature of this life stage.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite society, youth was a significant phase of life, marked by preparation for adult responsibilities. Young men were trained in various skills, including agriculture, warfare, and religious duties. The community placed a strong emphasis on the guidance and instruction of the young, as seen in the wisdom literature, which often addresses the youth directly, urging them to seek wisdom and understanding.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/5288.htm">naar</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>youth, early life<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>childhood (1), youth (3).<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">נֹ֫עַר</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>youth, early life</b></font> (rare poetic synonym for <font class="hebrew2">נְעוּרִים</font>);
