Usage: The Hebrew word "qar" is used to describe a state of being cold, often in a literal sense referring to temperature. It can also be used metaphorically to describe emotional states or spiritual conditions that are lacking warmth or fervor. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near East, where the climate could vary significantly, the concept of cold was familiar to the Israelites.
