Strong's Lexicon Qanah: To acquire, to buy, to purchase, to possess Original Word: קָנָה Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2932 (kataskeuazō) - to prepare, to make ready - G4046 (peripoieō) - to acquire, to obtain Usage: The Hebrew verb "qanah" primarily means to acquire or purchase something. It is used in the context of obtaining property, goods, or even acquiring wisdom or understanding. The term can also imply the act of creating or possessing, as seen in some theological contexts where God is described as the Creator or Possessor. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of acquiring or purchasing was integral to daily life, encompassing transactions of land, livestock, and goods. The act of acquisition was not only a commercial activity but also a means of establishing one's household and legacy. Theologically, "qanah" is significant in expressing God's ownership and creative power over the universe, as seen in the Old Testament.
