Strong's Lexicon niphqah: Opening, aperture Original Word: נִפְקָא Word Origin: Derived from the root פָּקַח (pāqach), meaning "to open" or "to be open." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "niphqah," the concept of an opening or revelation can be related to Greek terms such as ἀποκάλυψις (apokalypsis, Strong's G602), meaning "revelation" or "unveiling." Usage: The term "niphqah" refers to an opening or aperture, often used in the context of a physical space or gap. It can denote a literal opening, such as a hole or a breach, and is used to describe something that allows passage or visibility through a barrier. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of an opening or aperture was significant in both practical and symbolic terms. Openings in walls or structures were essential for ventilation, light, and access. Symbolically, openings could represent opportunities, revelations, or vulnerabilities. The physical and metaphorical implications of openings were understood in the context of daily life, architecture, and spiritual teachings.
