Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root עָקַב (ʿāqab), which means "to follow at the heel," "to supplant," or "to overreach."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2487 (ἰχνος, ichnos): Refers to a "track" or "footstep," often used metaphorically in the New Testament to describe following in someone's steps. Usage: The word עָקֵב is used in various contexts in the Hebrew Bible, often referring to the physical heel of a person or animal. It can also metaphorically imply following or tracking, as well as being used in idiomatic expressions. Context: The Hebrew word עָקֵב (ʿāqēb) appears in several key passages within the Old Testament, illustrating both its literal and metaphorical uses. In Genesis 3:15, the term is part of the protoevangelium, where God declares enmity between the serpent and the woman, stating, "He will crush your head, and you will strike his heel." Here, עָקֵב is used to describe the heel of the offspring of the woman, symbolizing vulnerability and the ongoing struggle between good and evil.
