Strong's Lexicon qabats: To gather, collect, assemble Original Word: קָבַץ Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4863 (synagō): To gather together, to assemble - G1996 (episyngō): To gather together upon Usage: The Hebrew verb "qabats" primarily means to gather or collect. It is used in various contexts, including the gathering of people, nations, or objects. The term can imply a physical gathering, such as assembling people for a meeting or event, or a more abstract gathering, such as collecting thoughts or emotions. In the biblical narrative, it often conveys the idea of bringing together what was scattered, whether it be exiles returning to their homeland or assembling a group for a specific purpose. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of gathering was significant both in daily life and religious practice. Agricultural communities would gather crops during harvest, and families would gather for festivals and religious observances. Theologically, the gathering of the Israelites from exile is a recurring theme, symbolizing restoration and divine intervention. The idea of God gathering His people is a powerful image of hope and redemption throughout the Scriptures.
