na.em describes someone or something evaluated as agreeable, appealing, or welcome in its setting.

The verb marks an affirming evaluation of persons and things as agreeable or appealing: Jonathan is addressed personally in 2 Samuel 1:26, while land, knowledge, secret food, and spoken words are evaluated in Genesis 49:15, Proverbs 2:10, Proverbs 9:17, and Psalm 141:6. Ezekiel 32:19 uses the same evaluation in a rhetorical question.

1. Being evaluated as agreeable or appealing · dominant

   The Qal forms predicate an approving quality of varied subjects: in Genesis 49:15 the APB renders the land as “pleasant,” and in Proverbs 2:10 and Proverbs 9:17 it similarly describes knowledge and food. In 2 Samuel 1:26 the second-person masculine singular form addresses Jonathan as “very pleasant,” while Ezekiel 32:19 places the same form in the question, “From whom were you pleasant?” Psalm 141:6 applies the plural perfect form to the speaker’s words, which the APB says “were pleasant.”
