Usage: The Hebrew word "kikkar" primarily denotes something round or circular. It is used in various contexts in the Old Testament, including: - A geographical region, often referring to the "circle" or "plain" of the Jordan River (e.g., Genesis 13:10). - A unit of weight, specifically a "talent," which was a large measure used for precious metals like gold and silver (e.g., Exodus 25:39). - A round loaf of bread (e.g., 1 Samuel 10:3).
