Usage: The verb עָרַף (ʿāraph) is used in the context of describing the action of drooping or dripping, often in a metaphorical sense related to the bending or bowing of the neck. Context: The Hebrew root עָרַף (ʿāraph) is a primitive verb that conveys the idea of drooping or dripping. It is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe physical actions that involve bending or bowing, often metaphorically representing submission or yielding. The term can also imply a sense of flowing or dripping, as in the case of liquid. This root is not frequently used in the biblical text, but its occurrences provide insight into the physical and metaphorical imagery of submission and the natural flow of substances.
