Strong's Lexicon naqar: To bore, pierce, pick out Original Word: נָקַר Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: naqar Pronunciation: nah-KAR Phonetic Spelling: (naw-kar') Definition: To bore, pierce, pick out Meaning: to bore Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "naqar," the concept of piercing or gouging can be related to Greek terms like "ἐκκεντέω" (ekkenteo - to pierce) as seen in the New Testament. Usage: The Hebrew verb "naqar" primarily means to bore or pierce through something. It is often used in contexts where physical penetration or removal is involved, such as gouging out eyes or piercing through objects. The term conveys a sense of forceful action, often with a destructive or harmful intent. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, acts of piercing or gouging were sometimes used as forms of punishment or humiliation. For example, gouging out the eyes of captives or enemies was a way to incapacitate and disgrace them. The use of "naqar" in the Hebrew Bible reflects these cultural practices and underscores the severity of certain actions or judgments.
