Strong's Lexicon qatsa': To end, to cut off, to finish Original Word: קָצָא Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "qatsa'," the concept of ending or completion can be related to Greek words such as "τελέω" (teleo - to complete, to finish) and "ἀποκόπτω" (apokopto - to cut off). Usage: The Hebrew verb "qatsa'" primarily conveys the idea of bringing something to an end or cutting it off. It is used in contexts where something is terminated or completed. This can refer to physical cutting, as well as metaphorical endings, such as the conclusion of a period of time or the cessation of an activity. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of ending or cutting off was significant in various aspects of life, including agriculture, religious practices, and social interactions. The act of cutting or ending could symbolize judgment, purification, or the completion of a covenant. Understanding the cultural context of "qatsa'" helps in grasping its implications in biblical narratives, where endings often carry theological significance.
