Berean Strong's Lexicon qabal: To receive, to take, to accept Original Word: קָבַל Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for "qabal" is δέχομαι (dechomai), which also means "to receive" or "to accept." Usage: The Hebrew verb "qabal" primarily means "to receive" or "to accept." It is used in various contexts in the Old Testament, often implying the act of taking something that is offered or given. This can include receiving physical objects, messages, or even responsibilities. The term suggests an active engagement in the act of acceptance, highlighting the recipient's willingness or readiness to take what is offered. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the act of receiving was not merely a passive action but often involved a covenantal or relational aspect. Receiving a gift, message, or responsibility could imply a deeper relational or communal bond. The concept of receiving is integral to many biblical narratives, where individuals or groups receive divine messages, blessings, or instructions, signifying their role in God's unfolding plan.
