נֶּסֶךְ nesekh (H5262) literally means “to pour” and used to refer to a liquid poured out as an offering (cf. Genesis 35:14) or the pouring of a molten metal to form images (cf. Jeremiah 10:14). In the Greek Old Testament, נֶּסֶךְ nesekh (H5262) is translated as σπονδήν spondín which comes from a word that means “libation” (G4689) which is defined as a drink poured out as an offering to a deity.
