To Know --- a word study on the Hebrew words that contain definitions which include forms of to know in the paragraphs

The verb "to know" as it appears in Mounce's Complete Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words - from LifeWay or Wordsearch or both

Clarification by Rick Livermore: The digital version of the book also contains new testament information about the verb "to know" but for the purposes of this blog post, the new testament word studies were left out. That project was already assigned to me as a previous blog post.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mounce's Complete Expository Dictionary of OT/NT Words: Expository Dictionary - Expository Dictionary - A - Ability

Noun: ‏דַּעַת‎ (daʿat), GK 1981 (S ), 88x. Derived from the verb yādaʿ (GK 3359, “to know”), daʿat means “knowledge” in all spheres of life. It can also denote any special ability one has. See knowledge.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Expository Dictionary - A - Acknowledge

Verb: ‏יָדַע‎ (yādaʿ), GK 3359 (S ), 956x. yādaʿ expresses a wide range of meanings connected to the idea of “knowing” or “understanding.” See know.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Expository Dictionary - A - Acknowledge

Verb: ‏נָכַר‎ (nākar), GK 5795 (S ), 44x. nākar (which occurs mostly in the Hiphil form) refers to general knowing, such as the basic awareness of another’s existence or the acknowledgment of who a person is. See recognize.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Expository Dictionary - C - Choose

Verb: ‏בָּחֲר‎ (bāḥar), GK 1047 (S ), 172x. bāḥar means “to choose, select, prefer.” While this word has secular uses, it is also intimately linked with God’s election of Israel as a nation and of individuals within the nation (although note that other words also speak of the concept of election, such as “know, separate, establish, call”).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Expository Dictionary - D - Discern

Verb: ‏בִּין‎ (b̂n), GK 1067 (S ), 171x. b̂n is most commonly found in the wisdom literature, especially Job and Proverbs. It is sometimes used in the general sense of “to know” (Prov. 24:12; Mic. 4:12), but more often refers to a technical, detailed, or specific understanding. Alternate translations such as “perceive, discern” may more readily capture the nuance of the term. See understand.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Expository Dictionary - D - Disguise

Verb: ‏נָכַר‎ (nākar), GK 5795 (S ), 44x. nākar (which occurs mostly in the Hiphil form) refers to general knowing, such as the basic awareness of another’s existence or the acknowledgment of who a person is. In rare instances and forms, nākar appears to bear the meaning “make unrecognizable, act as a stranger, disguise oneself.” See recognize.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Expository Dictionary - D - Distinguish

Verb: ‏נָכַר‎ (nākar), GK 5795 (S ), 44x. nākar (which occurs mostly in the Hiphil form) refers to general knowing, such as the basic awareness of another’s existence or the distinguishing of who one person is versus another. See recognize.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Expository Dictionary - K - Know

Verb: ‏בִּין‎ (b̂n), GK 1067 (S ), 171x. b̂n is most commonly found in the wisdom literature, especially Job and Proverbs. It is sometimes used in the general sense of “to know” (Prov. 24:12; Mic. 4:12), but more often refers to a technical, detailed, or specific understanding. See understand.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Expository Dictionary - K - Know

Verb: ‏יָדַע‎ (yādaʿ), GK 3359 (S ), 956x. yādaʿ expresses a wide range of meanings connected to the idea of “knowing” or “understanding.” In general, the epistemology of the OT is far more holistic than that of Western philosophy. Thus, knowledge gained through sensory experience and that which comes through intellectual apperception are not distinguished categorically; rather, both are viewed as valid and necessary aspects of knowledge acquisition.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Expository Dictionary - K - Know

(4) That yādaʿ includes a sense of relationship is evident, for the verb expresses sexual intimacy within the marriage covenant: “Adam lay with [lit., knew] his wife Eve, and she became pregnant” (Gen. 4:1; cf. also 1 Sam. 1:19). In a more general sense of relationship, yādaʿ can describe friendship (Job 19:13) or even an acquaintance (Gen. 29:5).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Expository Dictionary - K - Knowledge

Noun: ‏דַּעַת‎ (daʿat), GK 1981 (S ), 88x. Derived from the verb yādaʿ (GK 3359, “to know”), daʿat means “knowledge” in all spheres of life. (1) Its first occurrence is in Gen. 2:9, 17, in which Adam and Eve are prohibited from eating of “the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.” This first mention of daʿat in the Bible pertains to moral knowledge. Traditionally, this tree has been understood as a revelation of the clear distinction between good and evil, which the first pair would have known either through their obedience or their disobedience.

 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Expository Dictionary - L - Lie Down

(3) Equally important is the use of the verse for having sexual relations (similar to our expression, “sleeping with someone”). God’s law outlines numerous improper occasions for sexual relations with the expression “lying with someone” (Lev. 15:20, 24, 26; 20:11-13; Deut. 27:20-23). This phrase can denote rape (Gen. 34:2; Deut. 22:25). In Gen. 19:23, 33 it is used for the incestuous relations between Lot and his daughters. It is significant that in almost all occurrences of this meaning, šākab denotes improper sexual relationships; for appropriate sexual relations between husband and wife, the common verb to use is yādaʿ (GK 3359, “to know,” e.g., Gen. 4:1). See NIDOTTE, 4:100-102.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Expository Dictionary - N - Notice

Verb: ‏נָכַר‎ (nākar), GK 5795 (S ), 44x. nākar (which occurs mostly in the Hiphil form) refers to general knowing, such as the basic awareness of another’s existence or the taking notice of who a person is. See recognize.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Expository Dictionary - P - Perceive

Verb: ‏בִּין‎ (b̂n), GK 1067 (S ), 171x. b̂n is most commonly found in the wisdom literature, especially Job and Proverbs. It is sometimes used in the general sense of “to know” (Prov. 24:12; Mic. 4:12), but more often refers to a technical, detailed, or specific understanding. Alternate translations such as “perceive, discern” may more readily capture the nuance of the term. See understand.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Expository Dictionary - R - Recognize

(1) Unlike the verb yādaʿ (GK 3359, see know), which normally implies a measure of intimacy or comprehensiveness in one’s knowing, nākar (which occurs mostly in the Hiphil form) refers only to general knowing, such as the basic awareness of another’s existence or the acknowledgment of who a person is. In various contexts, it is best rendered “recognize” (Gen. 27:23), “inspect” (37:32), “acknowledge, take notice” (Ruth 2:10), and “distinguish” (Ezr. 3:13).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Expository Dictionary - R - Recognize

(2) In rare instances and forms, nākar appears to bear the meaning “make unrecognizable, act as a stranger, disguise oneself.” While some scholars see this use as a different verb that uses the same root letters, the use of nākar in the story of Joseph’s reunion with his brothers in Gen. 42:7-8 makes this unlikely. The verb appears four times and includes both meanings. We are told that Joseph recognizes (nākar) his brothers (vv.7-8), but disguises himself and pretended to be a stranger (nākar) before revealing his true identity. Joseph is aware of who his brothers are, though he does not know what to expect from them because he does not know them intimately. Indeed, it has been over twenty-five years since they have been together! That nākar is used in this single context with both meanings suggests that there is only one Hebrew word. This means that the concept of stranger is related to the kind of knowing described by the verb and demonstrates the lack of intimate knowledge. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Expository Dictionary - S - See

Verb: ‏רָאָה‎ (rāʾâ), GK 8011 (S and ), 1,311x. rāʾâ is the most frequent Heb. verb for “seeing,” encompassing a variety of actions including physical, visionary, and mental. “Seeing” often pictures how God interacts with humans, how God makes himself known to humans, and how humans then interact with God.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Expository Dictionary - U - Understand

Verb: ‏בִּין‎ (b̂n), GK 1067 (S ), 171x. b̂n is most commonly found in the wisdom literature, especially Job and Proverbs. It is sometimes used in the general sense of “to know” (Prov. 24:12; Mic. 4:12), but more often refers to a technical, detailed, or specific understanding. It describes a depth of knowledge beyond mere awareness, but does not seem to include a relational aspect (like, e.g., ydʿ, GK 3359; see know). Thus, alternate translations such as “perceive,” “discern,” or “gain insight” may more readily capture the nuance of the term.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Expository Dictionary - U - Understand

Verb: ‏יָדַע‎ (yādaʿ), GK 3359 (S ), 956x. yādaʿ expresses a wide range of meanings connected to the idea of “knowing” or “understanding.” See know.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Expository Dictionary - W - (Be) Wise

Verb: ‏שָׁכַל‎ (šākal), GK 8505 (S ), 60x. šākal means “to be wise (Prov. 15:24), understand (Isa. 41:20), prosper/be successful (1 Sam. 18:5, 14-15).” Human beings have a great desire to learn and to gain understanding. This is what the serpent took advantage of in the Garden of Eden, because he knew that Adam and Eve had an insatiable “desire for gaining wisdom” (Gen. 3:6).[1]

Learn More The New Testament in Its World An Introduction to the History, Literature, and Theology of the First Christians by N. T. Wright Finally: an introduction that captures the excitement of the early Christians, helping today's readers to think like a first-century believer while reading the text responsibly for today.

Learn More America's Religious History, and Video CurriculumFaith, Politics, and the Shaping of a Nationby Thomas S. Kidd In the post-9/11 world, it is not difficult to see how important religion remains in America and around the globe. An older generation of scholars expected that America and the rest of the Western world was headed inexorably toward secularization and the end of religion. America is undoubtedly secular in many ways, and our constitutional order requires a clear distinction between faith communities and government. Yet from the colonial era to the present, American men and women have been, and have remained, a pervasively religious people. In America's Religious History and America's Religious History Video Lectures, leading historian Thomas S. Kidd traces the theological and ethnic diversity and enduring strength of American religion, with special attention to Christianity and evangelical faith. Interweaving religious history and key events from the larger narrative of American history, the book and video series consider how faith commitments and categories have shaped the nation. Learn More 1 & 2 Thessalonians Zondervan Critical Introductions to the New Testamentby Nijay K. Gupta The study of Paul's Thessalonian letters is enjoying fresh interest today. These texts are considered by many to be amongst the earliest extant Christian documents. They are included in conversations about early Jewish and Christian apocalypticism. New insights are coming from examination of the religious, socio-cultural, and political contexts of Roman Thessalonica. And, looking back, these letters have played an important role in the development of Christian eschatology. This volumes serves as an up-to-date guide to these academic discussions and debates and much more. This volume on 1 and 2 Thessalonians in the Zondervan Critical Introductions to the New Testament series offers a volume-length engagement with subjects that normally only receive short treatments in biblical commentaries or in New Testament Introductions. Learn More Jesus, Skepticism & the Problem of History Criteria & Context in the Study of Christian Origins Editors Darrell L. Bock & J. E. Komoszewski In recent years, a number of New Testament scholars engaged in academic historical Jesus studies have concluded that such scholarship cannot yield secure and illuminating conclusions about its subject, arguing that the search for a historically "authentic" Jesus has run aground. Jesus, Skepticism, and the Problem of History brings together a stellar lineup of New Testament scholars who contend that historical Jesus scholarship is far from dead. These scholars all find value in using the tools of contemporary historical methods in the study of Jesus and Christian origins. While the skeptical use of criteria to fashion a Jesus contrary to the one portrayed in the Gospels is methodologically unsound and theologically unacceptable, these criteria, properly formulated and applied, yield positive results that support the Gospel accounts and the historical narrative in Acts. This book presents a nuanced and vitally needed alternative to the skeptical extremes of revisionist Jesus scholarship that, on the one hand, uses historical methods to call into question the Jesus of the Gospels and, on the other, denies the possibility of using historical methods to learn about Jesus. Learn More Do Christians, Muslims, and Jews Worship the Same God? Four Views by Wm. Andrew Schwartz, etal. During a time of global conflict, the theological question of whether Muslims, Jews, and Christians worship the same God carries political baggage. Is the God of ISIS the same as the God of Israel? Do Sunni Muslims and Protestant Christians pray to the same Creator and Sustainer of the universe? In this Counterpoints volume, edited by Ronnie P. Campbell, Jr., and Christopher Gnanakan, five leading scholars present the main religious perspectives on this question, demonstrating how to think carefully about an issue where opinions differ and confusion abounds. They examine related subtopics such as the difference between God being referentially the same and essentially the same, what "the same" means when referring to God, the significance of the Trinity in this discussion, whether religious inclusivism is inferred by certain understandings of God's sameness, and the appropriateness of interfaith worship. Insightful, gracious, and relevant, Do Christians, Muslims, and Jews Worship the Same God? sheds light on one of the most important theological issues of our day. Learn More Unlocking the Secrets of the Feasts The Prophecies in the Feasts of Leviticusby Michael Norten Amazing prophecies of God's plans for the world can be found embedded in the customs of the feasts of Israel. The intricate detail of the prophecies illustrated in the observances of these feasts provide insight into God's plan for the ages.
