Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root verb לָקַח (laqach), which means "to take" or "to receive." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence between מִקָּח and a specific Greek word in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of reception or taking can be related to several Greek terms used in the New Testament. Some of these include: - λαμβάνω (lambanō) • Strong's Greek 2983: This verb means "to take" or "to receive" and is frequently used in the New Testament to describe the act of receiving something, whether it be physical objects, spiritual gifts, or teachings. - δέχομαι (dechomai) • Strong's Greek 1209: This verb means "to receive" or "to accept" and is often used in the context of welcoming or accepting something or someone. These Greek terms reflect similar themes of reception and acceptance found in the Hebrew concept of מִקָּח, illustrating the continuity of these ideas across the biblical canon. Usage: The term מִקָּח is used in the context of receiving or acquiring, often in a transactional or relational sense. It appears in the Hebrew Bible to denote the act of taking or receiving something, whether tangible or intangible. Context: The Hebrew term מִקָּח (miqqach) is a noun that stems from the root verb לָקַח (laqach), which broadly means "to take" or "to receive." This root is frequently used in the Hebrew Bible to describe various forms of taking, whether it be physical objects, abstract concepts, or even people. The noun form, מִקָּח, specifically emphasizes the act or process of reception. In the biblical context, מִקָּח can be understood as the act of acquiring or receiving something, often with an implication of a transaction or an exchange. This could involve the reception of goods, wisdom, or even divine instruction. The term is not extensively used in the Hebrew Bible, but its occurrences highlight the importance of the act of receiving in the relational dynamics between individuals and between humanity and the divine. The concept of reception is significant in biblical theology, as it underscores the human role in accepting divine gifts, wisdom, and commandments. The act of receiving is not merely passive but involves an active engagement with what is given, whether it be material possessions, spiritual insights, or moral directives.
