to touch
To touch, make contact with, or reach someone or something, either physically or metaphorically. In various contexts, נָגַע can denote merely making contact, approaching or reaching a person, place, or object, or bringing about an effect through touching (such as transfer of impurity, blessing, or disease). It can also indicate striking, injuring, or inflicting harm, either by physical violence or as divine punishment, and is sometimes used euphemistically for sexual relations. Thus, the semantic range covers ordinary physical touch, reaching, striking, affliction, or the conveyance of a condition or status through contact.

to touch
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, infinitive construct with prefixed ל preposition ("to"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal infinitive construct expresses the simple verbal action in its basic stem. "To touch" preserves the core idea of making contact or reaching, from which extended senses like striking or afflicting develop. |
