Berean Strong's Lexicon peqach-qoach: Opening of the eyes, sight Original Word: פִּקַּח־קוֹחַ Word Origin: Derived from the root פָּקַח (paqach), meaning "to open" or "to be open." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G455 ἀνοίγω (anoigo) - to open - G308 ἀναβλέπω (anablepo) - to look up, recover sight Usage: The term "peqach-qoach" refers to the opening of the eyes or the restoration of sight. It is used in a metaphorical sense to describe the act of gaining insight or understanding, as well as in a literal sense to describe the physical restoration of vision. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, sight was often associated with understanding and perception. The ability to see was not only a physical attribute but also a metaphor for spiritual and intellectual enlightenment. The restoration of sight was seen as a divine act, symbolizing the removal of ignorance or spiritual blindness.
