Usage: The verb נָקַר (naqar) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the action of boring or piercing through something. It is often used in contexts where a physical object is being penetrated or dug into. Context: The Hebrew verb נָקַר (naqar) appears in several contexts within the Old Testament, primarily conveying the action of boring or piercing. This term is used in a literal sense, often describing the act of making a hole or opening by penetrating a surface. For example, in 2 Kings 12:9, it is used to describe the action of boring a hole in a chest to collect money: "Then Jehoiada the priest took a chest, bored a hole in its lid, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one enters the house of the LORD. And the priests who guarded the threshold put into the chest all the money that was brought into the house of the LORD." The term can also be found in Job 30:17, where it metaphorically describes the piercing pain experienced by Job: "Night pierces my bones, and my gnawing pains never rest." Here, the imagery of piercing is used to convey the intensity and persistence of Job's suffering. In a broader theological context, the act of piercing or boring can symbolize penetration or deep impact, whether physical or emotional. The use of נָקַר (naqar) in the Hebrew Bible underscores the vividness and intensity of such actions or experiences.
