Strong's Lexicon qo: Line, measuring line Original Word: קוֹא Word Origin: Derived from the root קוה (qavah), which means to bind together, collect, or hope. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3358 (μέτρον, metron): Meaning measure or measuring rod, used in contexts such as Romans 12:3, "For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you." Usage: The Hebrew word "קו" (qo) primarily refers to a line, often used in the context of a measuring line. It signifies a tool or standard used for measurement, construction, or demarcation. In a broader sense, it can symbolize order, precision, and the establishment of boundaries. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, measuring lines were essential tools for construction and land division. They were used by builders, surveyors, and craftsmen to ensure accuracy and precision in their work. The concept of a measuring line also carried symbolic weight, representing God's standards and judgments. In prophetic literature, the measuring line is often used metaphorically to describe God's assessment and judgment of His people. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originsee qi.
