Word Origin: Derived from the root word קָרָא (qarah), meaning "to call" or "to encounter."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts of opposition or hostility is ἀντίθεσις (antithesis), which conveys the idea of opposition or contradiction.

Usage: The term "qari" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a sense of opposition or hostility, often in the context of an adversarial encounter. It conveys the idea of meeting with resistance or being confronted by an opposing force. This term is typically used to describe situations where there is a deliberate or hostile confrontation.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, encounters with opposition were often seen as significant events that could shape the course of an individual's life or the fate of a nation. The concept of "qari" would have been understood within the broader context of divine providence and the belief that God orchestrates events for His purposes. Hostile encounters were often interpreted as tests of faith or opportunities for divine intervention.
