It conveys the idea of a low, murmuring sound, akin to the cooing of a dove or the growling of a lion, which reflects the act of speaking or muttering to oneself in contemplation. In the context of the Bible, "hagah" often refers to the meditative practice of reflecting on God's law, His works, or His words, suggesting a deep, thoughtful engagement with the divine.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, meditation was not a silent, internal activity as often perceived in modern contexts. Instead, it involved vocalizing thoughts, often in a low tone, as a way to internalize and reflect on the teachings of Scripture. This practice was integral to the spiritual life of the Israelites, who were encouraged to meditate on God's law day and night as a means of aligning their lives with His will.<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 remove<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>expelled (1), take away (2).<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. <font class="hebrew2">הָגָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>remove</b></font> (Thes compare <font class="hebrew2">יגה</font>) — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Qal</b></font> <em>Perfect</em> <font class="hebrew2">הָגָה</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/27-8.htm">Isaiah 27:8</a> (Di reads <font class="hebrew2">הָגָהּ</font>);
