Usage: The Hebrew verb "qanah" primarily means to acquire or purchase. It is used in various contexts to denote the act of obtaining something through purchase, possession, or creation. In some instances, it conveys the idea of God as the Creator, who "acquires" or "possesses" creation by virtue of His creative power.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the concept of acquisition was central to economic and social life. Transactions often involved bartering or purchasing goods, land, or services. The term "qanah" reflects these practices and extends to theological contexts, where God's ownership and creative authority are emphasized. The idea of God as the Creator who "acquires" the world underscores His sovereignty and intimate involvement with His creation.
