Context: The Aramaic verb קְנָא (qenā') is a cognate of the Hebrew קָנָה (qanah), which also means to acquire or purchase. This term appears in the context of economic transactions, where it denotes the act of buying or acquiring goods or property. The concept of purchasing is significant in the biblical narrative, reflecting the economic practices and legal transactions of the ancient Near Eastern cultures. The act of purchasing often involved formal agreements and was a common practice in trade and commerce. In the biblical context, the term can also carry a metaphorical sense, reflecting the acquisition of wisdom or spiritual insight, though this is more prevalent in the Hebrew usage.
