Strong's Lexicon qaba: To rob, to seize, to take away Original Word: קָבַע Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of robbery or unjust taking can be related to Greek terms such as "harpazo" (G726), which means to seize or snatch away. Usage: The Hebrew verb "qaba" primarily means to rob or to seize. It conveys the act of taking something forcibly or unjustly. This term is often used in contexts where there is an element of injustice or moral wrongdoing associated with the act of taking. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of justice and righteousness was deeply embedded in the community's legal and moral framework. Acts of robbery or unjust seizure were not only seen as crimes against individuals but also as offenses against God's covenantal laws. The use of "qaba" in the Hebrew Bible often highlights the moral and ethical dimensions of such actions, emphasizing the need for justice and integrity.
