Strong's Lexicon laqat: To gather, to glean, to collect Original Word: לָקַט Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: laqat Pronunciation: lah-KAHT Phonetic Spelling: (law-kat') Definition: To gather, to glean, to collect Meaning: to pick up, to gather, to glean Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for "laqat" is "συλλέγω" (syllego - Strong's Greek 4816), which also means to gather or collect. Usage: The Hebrew verb "laqat" primarily means to gather or collect, often used in the context of gathering crops or gleaning in the fields. It conveys the action of picking up or collecting items, typically after the main harvest has been completed. This term is frequently associated with the practice of gleaning, where the poor and needy would collect leftover crops from the fields. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the practice of gleaning was an important social and economic provision for the poor, widows, and foreigners. According to the Mosaic Law, landowners were instructed not to harvest the corners of their fields completely and to leave behind any sheaves that were accidentally dropped, so that the less fortunate could gather food for themselves (Leviticus 19:9-10, Deuteronomy 24:19-21). This practice not only provided sustenance for the needy but also fostered a sense of community responsibility and compassion.
