Strong's Lexicon qe: Assembly, congregation Original Word: קֵא Word Origin: Derived from a root that is not used in the Hebrew Bible, possibly related to the concept of gathering or assembly. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is "ἐκκλησία" (ekklesia), which also means assembly or congregation and is used in the New Testament to refer to the church. Usage: The term "qe" is used to denote a gathering or assembly of people, often in a religious or communal context. It can refer to the congregation of Israel, a group gathered for worship, or a community meeting for decision-making. The word emphasizes the collective nature of the group, highlighting unity and shared purpose. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, assemblies were central to community life. They served as venues for worship, legal matters, and communal decision-making. The concept of assembly is deeply rooted in the covenantal relationship between God and His people, where the community gathers to hear God's word, offer sacrifices, and renew their commitment to His laws. Assemblies were often held at significant locations such as the Tabernacle or the Temple, underscoring their sacred nature.
