Strong's Lexicon shaqad: To watch, to be alert, to be wakeful, to be vigilant Original Word: שָׁקַד Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: shaqad Pronunciation: shah-KAHD Phonetic Spelling: (shaw-kad') Definition: To watch, to be alert, to be wakeful, to be vigilant Meaning: to be, almond-shaped Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "shaqad," the concept of vigilance is captured in Greek by words such as "γρηγορέω" (grēgoreō - Strong's G1127), meaning to watch or be alert. Usage: The Hebrew verb "shaqad" primarily means to watch or to be vigilant. It conveys the idea of being alert and attentive, often in the context of guarding or overseeing something with care. This term is used to describe both human and divine vigilance, emphasizing a state of wakefulness and readiness. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of vigilance was crucial for survival and prosperity. Shepherds, watchmen, and guards needed to be constantly alert to protect their flocks, cities, and homes from threats. This cultural context underscores the importance of the term "shaqad" in conveying a sense of duty and responsibility. Additionally, the almond tree, which is associated with the word "shaqed" (almond), is known for its early blooming, symbolizing watchfulness and the prompt fulfillment of God's promises.
