Strong's Lexicon Peqach: Opening, open-eyed, insight Original Word: פֶקַח Word Origin: Derived from the root פָּקַח (paqach), meaning "to open" or "to be open." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is ἀνοίγω (anoigo), meaning "to open," which appears in contexts like the opening of eyes or understanding. Usage: The term "Peqach" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote the concept of being open-eyed or having insight. It often implies a state of awareness or understanding, particularly in a spiritual or moral sense. The root idea is related to the opening of the eyes, both physically and metaphorically, to perceive truth or reality. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of sight and insight was deeply connected to wisdom and understanding. Being "open-eyed" was not just about physical sight but also about perceiving deeper truths and having discernment. This was especially important in a society where oral tradition and prophetic insight played crucial roles in guiding the community.
