◄ 3746. Kari ►
Strong's Lexicon Kari: Kari Original Word: כָּרִי Part of Speech: Adjective Transliteration: kariy Pronunciation: kah-REE Phonetic Spelling: (kaw-ree') Definition: Kari Meaning: a life-guardsman Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root כָּרָה (karah), meaning "to dig" or "to make a pit." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is βόθυνος (bothynos), which also means "pit" or "abyss." Usage: The term "Kari" is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a pit or a place that has been dug. It often carries connotations of entrapment or a snare, symbolizing danger or a place of destruction. The word can be used both literally, to describe a physical pit, and metaphorically, to describe a situation of peril or entrapment. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, pits were commonly used for various purposes, including storing water, trapping animals, or as prisons. The imagery of a pit is frequently used in the Hebrew Scriptures to convey themes of danger, judgment, or divine deliverance. The concept of a pit as a place of entrapment or destruction would have been a familiar and powerful image to the original audience.
