Strong's Lexicon puq: Bring out, furnish, supply Original Word: פּוּק Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "puq," the concept of provision and supply can be seen in Greek words like "χορηγέω" (choregeo - to supply) and "προμηθεύω" (promētheuō - to provide). Usage: The Hebrew verb "puq" primarily means to bring out or to furnish. It is used in contexts where something is being supplied or provided, often with a sense of bringing forth or delivering. The term can imply the act of equipping or providing what is necessary for a particular purpose or need. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of provision and supply was crucial, especially in a largely agrarian culture where resources were directly tied to survival and prosperity. The act of bringing out or furnishing was not only a practical necessity but also carried spiritual significance, as it often reflected God's provision for His people. The Israelites understood their dependence on God's provision, whether it was manna in the wilderness or the resources needed for temple worship.
