Strong's Lexicon qebol: Opposite, corresponding Original Word: קֹבֶל Word Origin: Derived from the root קבל (qabal), meaning "to receive" or "to correspond." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of corresponding or opposite can be related to Greek terms like ἀντί (anti, meaning "against" or "opposite") or ἀπέναντι (apenanti, meaning "over against" or "opposite"). Usage: The Hebrew word "qebol" is used to denote something that is opposite or corresponding to another. It implies a sense of alignment or parallelism, often used in architectural or structural contexts to describe parts that face or correspond to each other. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, symmetry and balance were important in construction and design, reflecting a broader cultural appreciation for order and harmony. The use of "qebol" in describing architectural features would resonate with the Israelites' understanding of the world as a place of divine order, where everything has its place and purpose.
