Strong's Lexicon sekvi: Rooster, cock Original Word: שֶׂכְוִי Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be alert or to watch. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the concept of a rooster is present in the New Testament, notably in the accounts of Peter's denial of Jesus, where the rooster's crowing serves as a pivotal moment of realization and repentance (e.g., Matthew 26:34, 74-75). Usage: The term "sekvi" is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a rooster or cock, an animal known for its vigilance and its role as a natural alarm clock, crowing at the break of dawn. This word is used metaphorically to denote alertness and the ability to discern the times. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the rooster was a common domestic animal, valued for its role in waking people at dawn. Its crowing was a familiar sound in rural and urban settings alike. The rooster's vigilance and punctuality made it a symbol of watchfulness and readiness, qualities that were esteemed in a society that relied heavily on natural signs for daily activities.
