This Greek verb similarly conveys the idea of fixing or solidifying, often used in contexts where a liquid becomes firm or set. While the specific contexts and nuances may differ, both קָפָא and πηγνύω share the underlying theme of transformation from a fluid to a more solid state, often in a manner that signifies divine action or intervention. Usage: The verb קָפָא is used in the context of describing a physical change in state, such as the congealing or thickening of a liquid. Context: The Hebrew verb קָפָא (qafa') appears in the context of the miraculous events described in the Old Testament. It is primarily used to describe the process of congealing or thickening, often in relation to natural phenomena that are altered by divine intervention. The most notable occurrence of this verb is found in the account of the parting of the Red Sea, where the waters are described as congealing, allowing the Israelites to cross on dry ground.
