Strong's Lexicon En Haqqore: "Spring of the Caller" Original Word: עֵין הַקּוֹרֵא Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: עֵין (ayin), meaning "spring" or "fountain," and הַקּוֹרֵא (haqqore), meaning "the caller" or "the one who calls." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for En Haqqore, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, the concept of divine provision and miraculous springs can be related to Greek terms for "spring" or "fountain," such as πηγή (pēgē). Usage: En Haqqore is a place name found in the biblical narrative, specifically in the context of the account of Samson. It refers to a spring that miraculously appeared in response to Samson's prayer for water after a great victory over the Philistines. The name signifies the divine provision and response to Samson's call for help. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, springs and wells were vital sources of water, often seen as divine blessings in the arid landscape. The naming of En Haqqore reflects the cultural understanding of God's direct intervention in providing for His people. The account of Samson, a judge of Israel, is set during a time when the Israelites were under Philistine oppression. His feats of strength and the miraculous provision of water highlight God's sovereignty and care for His chosen leaders.
