However, the Greek name "Ναούμ" (Naoum) is used in the Septuagint and the New Testament genealogies to refer to Nahum.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The name "Nahum" means "comfort" or "consolation." It is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, specifically referring to the prophet Nahum, who authored the Book of Nahum. This book is part of the Minor Prophets in the Old Testament.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Nahum was a prophet who lived during the 7th century BCE. His prophetic ministry is traditionally dated to the reign of King Josiah of Judah. Nahum's prophecy is primarily directed against the city of Nineveh, the capital of the Assyrian Empire, which was known for its brutality and oppression. The Book of Nahum predicts the fall of Nineveh, which occurred in 612 BCE, as a divine act of justice and a source of comfort to the oppressed people of Judah.<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>an Isr. prophet<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Nahum (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">נַחוּם</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> (<em>comfort</em>) the prophet Nahum, <a href="/interlinear/nahum/1-1.htm">Nahum 1:1</a>, <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Ναουμ</font>. <font size="+1">**</font><font class="hebrew2">נַחוּם</font> < = <em>comforting, full of comfort</em> (namely, <em>is</em> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">י</font> ?
