Usage: The verb נָקַב (naqab) is used in various contexts in the Hebrew Bible, often implying the act of piercing or puncturing. It can also mean to specify or designate, and in some contexts, it is used to denote cursing. Context: The Hebrew verb נָקַב (naqab) appears in several contexts throughout the Old Testament. It primarily conveys the action of piercing or puncturing, as seen in passages where physical objects are bored or perforated. For example, in 2 Kings 12:9, it describes the act of boring a hole in a chest to collect money. The term also extends metaphorically to the act of specifying or designating, as in Numbers 1:17, where leaders are designated by name. Additionally, נָקַב can imply cursing, as in Leviticus 24:11, where it describes the act of blaspheming the Name of the LORD. This multifaceted verb illustrates the rich semantic range of Hebrew roots, encompassing both physical and abstract actions.
