Usage: This Aramaic verb is used in contexts that involve examining or considering something with care, as well as in agricultural settings related to ploughing or breaking ground. Context: The Aramaic verb בְּקַר (bəqar) appears in the context of examining or inspecting with diligence and care. It is a term that conveys a sense of thoroughness and attention to detail, whether in the context of agriculture or in more abstract applications such as considering or admiring something. The verb is used in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, reflecting the linguistic diversity present in the biblical texts.
