Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew קָרָה (qarah) in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of coolness or refreshment can be related to Greek terms such as ψύχω (psycho, Strong's Greek 5594), which means "to cool" or "to refresh." This Greek term is used metaphorically in the New Testament to describe spiritual refreshment or renewal.

Note: The Berean Standard Bible (BSB) does not contain a direct translation of קָרָה (qarah) as it is a specific Hebrew term with limited occurrences in the biblical text. The understanding of this term is primarily derived from its root and contextual usage in Hebrew literature.

Usage: This term is used in the context of describing a state or condition of coolness, often in a physical or environmental sense.

Context: • The Hebrew word קָרָה (qarah) appears in the context of describing a refreshing or cooling sensation, often associated with relief from heat. In the ancient Near Eastern climate, coolness was a valued and sought-after condition, providing comfort and respite. The term is used metaphorically in some instances to describe a calming or soothing effect, akin to the physical sensation of cool air. The concept of coolness is often linked with peace and tranquility, contrasting with the harshness of heat or the intensity of passion. In the biblical narrative, coolness can symbolize divine provision and care, as God provides relief and comfort to His people.
