Berean Strong's Lexicon maq: Smite, strike, wound Original Word: מַק Word Origin: Derived from a root word meaning "to strike" or "to smite." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and New Testament for similar concepts is "πληγή" (plēgē - Strong's Greek 4127), which also means a blow or wound. Usage: The Hebrew word "maq" is used to describe the act of striking or smiting, often in the context of inflicting a wound or blow. It conveys a sense of physical impact or injury, and is typically used in contexts involving conflict, punishment, or divine judgment. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, physical punishment and warfare were common, and the concept of striking or smiting was often associated with divine retribution or justice. The use of "maq" in the Hebrew Bible reflects the societal norms and legal practices of the time, where physical discipline and warfare were integral to maintaining order and justice.
