Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

נָשָׁא not used in Kal, perhaps to err, to go astray, kindred to the verb נָשָׁה to forget, from which is formed inf. absol. נָשֹׁא Jeremiah 23:39 whence Syr. ܢܘܽܫܳܝܐܳ error. [In Thes. perhaps to remove, i.q. נָסַע نشع.]

Hiphil הִשִּׁיא to lead into error, to cause to go astray, whence

(1) to deceive, to impose on any one, followed by a dat. 2 Kings 18:29; Jeremiah 4:10, 29:8 acc. 2 Chronicles 32:15; 2 Kings 19:10; Jeremiah 37:9, אַל־תַּשִּׁאוּ נַפְשׁוֹתֵיכֶם “deceive not yourselves.” Followed by עַל in a pregnant sense, Psalms 55:16 קרי, יַשִּׁי מָוֶת עָלֵימוֹ “let death deceive (and rush) on them,” i.e. let death surprise them contrary to expectation.

(2) to seduce, to corrupt, Genesis 3:13; Jeremiah 49:16.

Niphal, to be deceived, Isaiah 19:13.

[Derivative מַשָּׁאוֹן.]
