Strong's Lexicon piq: Opening, aperture Original Word: פִיק Word Origin: Derived from the root פָּקַק (paqaq), which means to open or to unstop. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is ἄνοιγμα (anoigma), which also means opening or aperture. Usage: The Hebrew word "piq" refers to an opening or aperture, often used in the context of physical structures or objects. It can denote a literal opening, such as a hole or gap, and is sometimes used metaphorically to describe an opportunity or a means of access. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of an "opening" was significant both in practical and symbolic terms. Openings in structures like tents, homes, or city walls were crucial for access, ventilation, and communication. Metaphorically, openings could represent opportunities or divine interventions, reflecting the belief that God provides ways through obstacles or challenges.
