Usage: The Hebrew word "rechiq" is used to describe something that is physically distant or far away. It can also be used metaphorically to describe emotional or relational distance. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it often conveys the idea of separation, whether it be geographical, spiritual, or relational.

The concept of being "far" or "distant" could imply not only physical separation but also a lack of intimacy or connection. In a cultural context where community and family were central, being distant could have profound implications for one's social and spiritual life.
