Usage: This noun is used in the context of a place or state of cooling, often implying a sense of refreshment or relief from heat. Context: • מְקֵרָה (mekerah) appears in the Hebrew Bible in contexts that suggest a physical or metaphorical cooling. The term is associated with relief and refreshment, often in a literal sense of a place that provides a respite from heat. In ancient Near Eastern culture, where the climate could be harsh and hot, such places were highly valued for their comfort and restorative properties.
