Usage: The verb אָחַד (achad) is used in the Hebrew Bible to convey the action of unifying or bringing together. It is often used in contexts where gathering or collecting is involved, whether it be people, objects, or ideas.

Context: The Hebrew verb אָחַד (achad) is a primitive root that primarily means "to unify" or "to collect." This term is used in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, emphasizing the action of bringing together or making one. The concept of unity is central to many biblical narratives, where the gathering of people or the unification of tribes and nations is a recurring theme.

In the Old Testament, אָחַד is used in passages that describe the unification of Israel or the gathering of people for a common purpose. For example, in 2 Samuel 2:25, the term is used to describe the unification of the people under a single leader. The idea of unity is also significant in the prophetic literature, where the prophets often speak of a future time when God will gather His people from the nations and unify them under His rule.

The verb is also used metaphorically to describe the unification of ideas or the harmonization of different elements. This reflects the broader biblical theme of God bringing order and unity out of chaos and division.
