The Hebrew Word

Qahrah is a primitive root that means "to call out to".  Qahrah [קָרָא- Strong's #7121] is used 739 times in 685 verses in the Tanakh.

Qahrah is the root of other Hebrew words:

  • עֵין הַקּוֹרֵא [ane-haqoray (Enhakkore) "Fountain of one calling"- Strong's #5875]
  • קְרָא [qerah (Chaldee) ["cry" - Strong's #7123]
  • קָרִיא [qahree "famous" - Strong's #7148]
  • קְרִיאָה [qereah "proclamation" or "preacher" - Strong's #7150]

 

First use in Scripture

The first time qahrah is used in Scripture is in Genesis 1:5.

G-d called, the light day, and the darkness He called night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day. (Genesis 1:5)

 

Last use in Scripture

The last time qahrah is used in Scripture is in Malachi 1:5.

Though Edom says, "We have been beaten down, but we will return and build up the ruins,"; thus says the LORD of hosts, "They may build, but I will tear down; and men will call them the wicked territory, and the people toward whom the LORD is indignant forever." (Malachi 1:5)

 

Parashah Outline

  • The Laws of Burnt Offerings - Leviticus 1:1
  • The Laws of Grain Offerings - Leviticus 2:1
  • The Laws of Peace Offerings - Leviticus 3:1
  • The Laws of Sin Offerings - Leviticus 4:1
  • The Laws of Guilt Offerings - Leviticus 5:1
  • The Guilt Offering - Leviticus 6:1

 

Portraits of Messiah

Leviticus chapter 3 provides instructions regarding the peace offering (שְׁלָמִים - shelamim).  In Romans 5:1, Paul says, "We have peace with G-d through our Lord Yeshua Ha Mashiach".  The peace offering, then, is a picture of Messiah.
