Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root נָקַד (naqad), meaning "to mark" or "to designate with spots." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G3022 (λευκός, leukos): While primarily meaning "white," this term can be related to markings or colors in the context of describing animals or garments. • G4164 (ποικίλος, poikilos): Meaning "varied" or "diverse," this term can be used to describe a variety of colors or patterns, similar to the concept of "spotted" in Hebrew. These Greek terms, while not direct translations, share thematic connections with the Hebrew נָקֹד in the context of describing colors and patterns, particularly in the Septuagint and New Testament contexts. Usage: The word נָקֹד is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe animals, particularly sheep and goats, that have a spotted or speckled appearance. This term is notably used in the narrative of Jacob and Laban, where Jacob breeds spotted livestock. Context: The term נָקֹד appears in the context of the patriarchal narratives, specifically in Genesis 30:32-39 and Genesis 31:8-12. In these passages, Jacob negotiates with Laban to keep the spotted and speckled livestock as his wages. The narrative describes how Jacob employs selective breeding techniques to increase his flock of spotted animals. This term highlights the ancient practices of animal husbandry and the significance of livestock as wealth and livelihood in the biblical era. The spotted animals serve as a symbol of God's provision and blessing upon Jacob, as he prospers despite Laban's attempts to deceive him. In Genesis 30:32 (BSB), Jacob says, "Let me pass through your entire flock today, removing from it every speckled and spotted sheep, every dark-colored lamb, and every spotted or speckled goat. These will be my wages." This passage illustrates the use of נָקֹד in describing the specific markings on the animals that were to be Jacob's wages.
