Strong's Lexicon qarah: To encounter, to meet, to happen, to befall Original Word: קָרָה Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4819 (συμβαίνω, symbainō) - to happen, to come together - G4795 (συμβάλλω, symballō) - to encounter, to meet Usage: The Hebrew verb "qarah" primarily conveys the idea of encountering or meeting, often in the sense of an event or occurrence that happens, sometimes unexpectedly. It can refer to both positive and negative encounters or events. The term is used to describe situations that "befall" someone, indicating a sense of divine providence or fate in the unfolding of events. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of events "happening" or "befalling" someone was often seen through the lens of divine intervention or providence. The Israelites believed that God was actively involved in the affairs of humanity, orchestrating events according to His will. This understanding is reflected in the use of "qarah" to describe occurrences that are perceived as divinely appointed or significant.
