Word Origin: A primitive root

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek term in the Strong's Concordance is G1692 (ἐμέω, emeō), which also means to vomit. This Greek term is used in the New Testament, notably in Revelation 3:16, where it describes the lukewarm church of Laodicea being spewed out of Christ's mouth, symbolizing rejection due to their lack of fervor.

The concept of vomiting in both the Hebrew and Greek Scriptures serves as a powerful metaphor for divine rejection and the consequences of failing to adhere to spiritual and moral standards.

Usage: The term קֵא (qe) is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote the act of vomiting or the substance vomited. It is a vivid term often used metaphorically to describe rejection or expulsion.

Context: The Hebrew word קֵא (qe) appears in the context of physical expulsion, often symbolizing a strong rejection or divine judgment. In the Old Testament, the imagery of vomiting is used to convey the idea of something being so detestable or unclean that it must be expelled. This term is found in passages that emphasize the consequences of sin or the rejection of God's commandments. For example, in Leviticus 18:28, the land is described as vomiting out its inhabitants due to their abominations, illustrating the severity of their actions and the resulting divine judgment. The use of קֵא (qe) in such contexts underscores the seriousness of maintaining holiness and obedience to God's laws.
