Usage: The Hebrew verb "qashar" primarily means to bind or tie physically, as one would tie a cord or rope. It also extends metaphorically to mean forming alliances or conspiracies, indicating a binding together of people for a common purpose, often with a negative connotation of plotting or scheming.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, binding and tying were common practices, not only in everyday tasks but also in symbolic and ritualistic contexts. The act of binding could signify a covenant or agreement, as well as a physical or metaphorical restraint. In the context of conspiracies, "qashar" reflects the political and social dynamics of ancient Israel and its neighbors, where alliances and plots were common in the struggle for power and survival.
