Strong's Lexicon naqod: Speckled, spotted Original Word: נָקֹד Word Origin: Derived from the root נָקַד (naqad), meaning "to mark" or "to designate." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "naqod" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as this specific term pertains to Hebrew descriptions of animal markings. However, the concept of distinguishing animals by their appearance can be related to Greek terms for "mark" or "sign," such as σημεῖον (sēmeion, Strong's G4592). Usage: The term "naqod" is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe animals, particularly livestock, that have a speckled or spotted appearance. This adjective is often used in the context of distinguishing certain animals from others based on their unique markings. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, livestock was a significant measure of wealth and prosperity. The markings on animals, such as being speckled or spotted, were important for identification and breeding purposes. These markings could also be associated with specific agreements or covenants, as seen in the account of Jacob and Laban, where the speckled and spotted animals played a crucial role in their agreement regarding Jacob's wages.
