It is often used in contexts where something is deemed appropriate or fitting, particularly in relation to God's creation or His dwelling place. The term can also imply a sense of moral or spiritual beauty, reflecting the inherent goodness or righteousness of something.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, beauty was often associated with order, harmony, and suitability. The concept of beauty extended beyond physical appearance to include moral and spiritual dimensions. The Hebrew understanding of beauty was deeply connected to the divine order established by God, where everything had its place and purpose. This perspective is reflected in the use of "na'ah" to describe things that are fitting or appropriate within God's creation.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>see <a href="/hebrew/5116c.htm">navah</a><br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>habitations (2), pasture grounds (1), pastures (7).<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> II.
