Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root קָרָה (qarah), meaning "to encounter" or "to meet."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The corresponding Greek term in the Septuagint that aligns with the concept of קְרִי (qeri) is often related to the Greek word θυμός (thumos), Strong's Greek Number G2372. This Greek term conveys the idea of passion, anger, or wrath, which can be seen as a parallel to the hostile or adverse nature of קְרִי in the Hebrew context. The use of θυμός in the Greek New Testament often describes God's righteous anger or wrath, similar to the adversarial encounters described by קְרִי in the Hebrew Bible. Usage: The word קְרִי (qeri) is used in the context of describing a hostile or adverse encounter, often in relation to the consequences of disobedience to God. It appears in the context of warnings and judgments. Context: • The term קְרִי (qeri) is found in the Hebrew Bible, particularly in the book of Leviticus. It is used to describe the nature of the relationship between God and the Israelites when they act in disobedience. In Leviticus 26:21, 23, 24, 27, and 28, the term is used to describe how God will act with hostility or in opposition to the Israelites if they continue in their disobedience. The repeated use of קְרִי in these passages emphasizes the seriousness of the covenant relationship and the consequences of breaking it. The term suggests a reciprocal relationship where the Israelites' hostility or indifference towards God's commands results in God responding in kind, highlighting the covenantal principle of measure-for-measure.
