Strong's Lexicon saphaq: Clap, strike, smite, slap Original Word: סָפַק Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: caphaq Pronunciation: sah-fak' Phonetic Spelling: (saw-fak') Definition: to clap the hands, of satisfaction, to be enough, of excess, to vomit Meaning: • To clap the hands, often as an expression of satisfaction or derision. • To be enough, indicating sufficiency or adequacy. • To denote excess, sometimes leading to the act of vomiting. Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence between Hebrew and Greek terms, the concept of clapping or expressing sufficiency can be loosely related to Greek terms that describe similar actions or states. However, specific Greek entries are not provided here, as the nuances of Hebrew and Greek vocabulary often require contextual interpretation rather than direct equivalence. Usage: • The verb סָפַק is used in various contexts in the Hebrew Bible, often to describe physical actions or states of being that convey emotional or physical responses. Context: • The Hebrew verb סָפַק (sāpaq) appears in several contexts within the Old Testament, illustrating a range of meanings from physical gestures to expressions of sufficiency or excess. In its most literal sense, סָפַק is used to describe the act of clapping hands, which can be an expression of joy, satisfaction, or even scorn. For example, in the context of derision, clapping hands can be a gesture of mockery or disdain. • Beyond physical gestures, סָפַק also conveys the idea of sufficiency or adequacy. This usage implies that something is enough or meets the necessary requirements. In some instances, the term extends to describe situations of excess, where the abundance leads to negative outcomes, such as vomiting. This reflects the broader semantic range of the word, capturing both positive and negative connotations depending on the context. • The Berean Standard Bible (BSB) provides instances where this term is used, though specific verses are not directly quoted here. The contexts in which סָפַק appears highlight its versatility in expressing both physical actions and metaphorical states.
