Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root קָצָה (qatsah), which means "to cut off" or "to end."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Greek Number 3313 • μέρος (meros): This Greek term is often used in the New Testament to denote a part, portion, or share, similar to the Hebrew קְצָת. It appears in contexts where a division or allocation is implied, such as in Luke 15:12, where the prodigal son asks for his share of the estate.

Usage: The word קְצָת is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a portion or part of something, often in the context of time or quantity. It can imply a limited or specific segment of a larger whole.

Context: The Hebrew term קְצָת (qetsat) appears in various contexts within the Old Testament, often to denote a portion or segment of time, space, or quantity. It is used to describe a part of a larger entity, whether it be a physical object, a period, or an abstract concept. The term is derived from the root קָצָה (qatsah), which carries the idea of cutting or ending, suggesting that קְצָת represents a defined or bounded portion.

In the Berean Standard Bible, קְצָת is translated in contexts that emphasize a part or segment, such as in Genesis 47:24, where it refers to a portion of produce: "But when the harvest comes, you are to give a fifth to Pharaoh, and four-fifths will be your own as seed for the field and as food for yourselves and your households and children."

The term is also used in temporal contexts, indicating a period or segment of time, as seen in Daniel 1:18: "At the end of the time set by the king to bring them in, the chief official presented them to Nebuchadnezzar."

קְצָת is a versatile term that underscores the concept of division or allocation, whether in terms of physical resources, time, or other measurable entities. Its usage reflects the Hebrew understanding of portions and boundaries within the created order.
