Usage: The Hebrew verb "qabal" primarily means "to receive" or "to accept." It is used in various contexts in the Old Testament, often implying the act of taking something that is offered or given. This can include receiving words, instructions, or physical objects. The term can also suggest a sense of agreement or acceptance of a proposal or command.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the act of receiving was not merely a passive action but often involved a relational or covenantal aspect. To "qabal" something could imply entering into a relationship or agreement, as receiving often carried with it responsibilities or obligations. This reflects the communal and covenantal nature of ancient Israelite society, where relationships and agreements were foundational.
