Berean Strong's Lexicon qirah: Encounter, meeting, assembly Original Word: קִרְאָה Word Origin: Derived from the root verb קָרָא (qara), meaning "to call" or "to proclaim." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is συναγωγή (synagōgē - Strong's Greek 4864), meaning "assembly" or "gathering." Usage: The Hebrew word "qirah" is used to denote an encounter or meeting, often with a sense of purpose or divine appointment. It can refer to a gathering or assembly where individuals come together for a specific reason, often related to worship or a significant event. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, gatherings and assemblies were central to community life and religious practice. These meetings were often called for worship, to hear the reading of the Law, or to celebrate festivals. The concept of a "qirah" would have been understood as a divinely orchestrated meeting, emphasizing the importance of communal worship and the presence of God among His people.
