Strong's Lexicon qur: To dig, to bore, to pierce Original Word: קוּר Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "qur," the concept of digging or piercing can be related to Greek terms like "ὀρύσσω" (orussō - to dig) or "διατρυπάω" (diatrypaō - to pierce through). Usage: The Hebrew verb "qur" primarily means to dig or bore through something. It is often used in contexts where physical penetration or excavation is involved. The term can also imply a sense of piercing or making a hole, which can be both literal and metaphorical. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, digging was a common activity, whether for constructing wells, preparing land for agriculture, or creating defensive structures. The act of digging or boring was essential for survival and development, as it provided access to water and resources. The metaphorical use of "qur" can also be seen in prophetic literature, where it might symbolize penetrating insight or judgment.
