Usage: The verb קָפַד (qāpad) is used in the context of contracting or rolling together, often implying a gathering or folding action. It is a rare term in the Hebrew Bible, appearing in contexts that suggest a physical or metaphorical contraction. Context: The Hebrew verb קָפַד (qāpad) is a primitive root that conveys the action of contracting or rolling together. This term is not frequently encountered in the Hebrew Scriptures, indicating its specialized usage. The concept of contraction or rolling can be understood both in a literal sense, such as the physical act of rolling or folding, and in a metaphorical sense, such as the gathering or closing in of something. The usage of קָפַד in the biblical text often carries a connotation of bringing together or compressing, which can be applied to various contexts, including natural phenomena or symbolic actions. In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is translated in a manner that reflects its core meaning of contraction or rolling. The imagery associated with קָפַד can be linked to the natural world, where elements are gathered or folded, or to human actions that involve bringing things together in a compact form. The rarity of this term in the biblical text suggests that it was used with intentionality to convey specific actions or states of being that align with its meaning.
