Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: A primitive root

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G1544 (ἐκβάλλω, ekballō): To cast out, drive out, expel. This Greek term is often used in the New Testament to describe the act of casting out demons or expelling something unwanted.
• G4360 (προσοχθίζω, prosochthizō): To be displeased, to loathe. This term conveys a sense of strong aversion or disgust, similar to the metaphorical implications of קוֹא in the Hebrew Bible.

Usage: The term קוֹא is used in the context of expelling contents from the stomach, often symbolically representing rejection or disgust.

Context: The Hebrew verb קוֹא (qo) is a primitive root that conveys the action of vomiting. This term is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a physical act that often carries metaphorical implications of rejection or divine judgment. The act of vomiting is depicted as a natural response to something that is intolerable or repugnant, and it is used in scriptural contexts to illustrate the expulsion of that which is unclean or unwanted.

In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is found in Leviticus 18:28, where it is used to describe the land "vomiting out" its inhabitants due to their abominations: "And if you defile the land, it will vomit you out as it spewed out the nations before you." This usage underscores the concept of the land itself reacting against the moral corruption of its people, emphasizing the severity of divine judgment against sin.

The imagery of vomiting serves as a powerful metaphor for divine rejection, illustrating the consequences of disobedience and impurity. It reflects the broader biblical theme of holiness and the necessity for God's people to maintain purity in order to remain in His favor.
