Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive rootCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G643 (ἀποκαύω • apokauo): To burn off, to scorch Usage: The verb כָּוָה (kavah) is used in the context of causing a blister or a burn, often implying a penetrating or pricking action that results in a wound or mark. Context: The Hebrew verb כָּוָה (kavah) is a primitive root that conveys the action of pricking or penetrating, often leading to a blister or burn. This term is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe physical injuries that result from such actions. The imagery associated with כָּוָה is one of sharpness and intensity, reflecting the painful and often damaging nature of the action. The term is not frequently used in the biblical text, but when it appears, it underscores the severity of the injury or mark inflicted. The concept of blistering or burning in the ancient Near Eastern context often carried connotations of purification or judgment, as fire and heat were seen as purifying agents. Thus, the use of כָּוָה can also imply a deeper, metaphorical significance beyond the physical act, suggesting a process of refinement or divine intervention.
