Context: The Hebrew verb נָקַע (naqah) appears in the Old Testament to describe a state of emotional or relational alienation. This term is used to express a deep-seated aversion or estrangement, often in the context of interpersonal relationships or one's relationship with God. The root idea is to be distanced or to feel a sense of separation, which can be due to various reasons such as sin, betrayal, or a change in circumstances.

In the Berean Standard Bible, the usage of נָקַע can be seen in contexts where individuals or groups experience a breakdown in relationship, leading to feelings of aversion or alienation. This term highlights the emotional and spiritual impact of such estrangement, emphasizing the need for reconciliation and restoration.

The concept of נָקַע is significant in understanding the dynamics of human relationships in the biblical narrative, as well as the relationship between humanity and the divine. It underscores the importance of addressing the root causes of alienation and seeking to restore harmony and unity.
