Strong's Lexicon shaqad: To watch, to be alert, to be wakeful, to be vigilant Original Word: שָׁקַד Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: shaqad Pronunciation: shah-KAHD Phonetic Spelling: (shaw-kad') Definition: to be, almond-shaped Meaning: To be, almond-shaped Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the Hebrew שָׁקַד in the Strong's Greek lexicon, as the concept of being almond-shaped is specific to Hebrew cultural and religious symbolism. However, the Greek term for almond, ἀμυγδάλη (amygdalē), can be considered related in terms of the botanical reference. Usage: The term שָׁקַד is used in the context of describing something that is almond-shaped, often referring to the shape of certain objects or features. Context: The Hebrew root שָׁקַד (shaqad) is primarily associated with the concept of being almond-shaped. This term is derived from the visual resemblance of certain objects to the shape of an almond. In the biblical context, the almond tree and its blossoms are often symbolic, representing watchfulness and the fulfillment of God's promises due to the almond tree's early blooming. The almond shape is noted for its aesthetic and symbolic significance in various scriptural passages. The almond blossom is mentioned in the context of the design of the lampstand (menorah) in the Tabernacle, as described in Exodus 25:33-34, where the cups are made to resemble almond blossoms. This design choice underscores the beauty and intricate craftsmanship commanded by God for the sacred objects used in worship.
