Usage: The verb קָצַע (qāṣaʿ) is used in the context of removing or stripping off something, often implying a separation or segregation. It can refer to the physical act of scraping or cutting off, as well as the metaphorical act of dividing or segregating. Context: The Hebrew verb קָצַע (qāṣaʿ) appears in the Old Testament with the primary sense of stripping or scraping off. This action can be understood both in a literal and figurative sense. In its literal usage, it may refer to the act of physically removing or cutting off a part of an object or material. For example, in the context of construction or craftsmanship, it might describe the process of trimming or shaping materials by scraping or cutting. Figuratively, קָצַע can imply a form of segregation or division, where something is set apart or separated from the whole. This can be seen in contexts where individuals or groups are distinguished or isolated from others, either for purification, judgment, or other purposes. The verb is not frequently used in the Hebrew Bible, but its occurrences provide insight into practices of separation and purification, as well as the physical processes involved in ancient craftsmanship and construction.
