It can imply a physical meeting or encounter, as well as more abstract interactions such as interceding or entreating. In some contexts, it carries the connotation of striking or reaching a target, indicating a forceful or intentional action. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the act of meeting or encountering someone could carry significant weight, often involving formal greetings, negotiations, or confrontations. The concept of intercession, one of the meanings of "paga," was also deeply embedded in the religious practices of the Israelites, where prophets and priests would intercede on behalf of the people before God. The term's usage in various contexts reflects the multifaceted nature of human interactions in the biblical narrative.
