Strong's Lexicon Mikri: Chance, accident, occurrence Original Word: מִכְרִי Word Origin: Derived from the root קָרָה (qarah), meaning "to happen" or "to occur." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4795 Συμβαίνω (sumbaino): To happen, to occur - G5177 Τυγχάνω (tugchano): To obtain, to happen Usage: The term "Mikri" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote an event or occurrence that appears to happen by chance or accident. It often conveys the idea of something happening without apparent design or purpose, though within the biblical worldview, such events are ultimately under God's sovereign control. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of chance was understood differently than in modern secular contexts. While events might appear random or accidental, the Israelites believed that God was sovereign over all occurrences. This belief is reflected in the use of "Mikri," where what seems like chance is often seen as part of God's divine plan.
