What Original Readers Understood
ExploredBased on the provided lexicon data, the word "qo.re" (Hebrew: קוֹרֵא) is identified as a proper name referring to a person, labeled as "Kore" in the English translation. The fact that this is a proper name indicates that the term is specific and unique, likely referring to an individual or a family member. With only two occurrences in the Bible, it is difficult to establish a range of usage beyond its specific reference. However, given its status as a proper name, it is reasonable to assume that "qo.re" likely played an important role or held significance within the biblical narrative. The limited occurrence and proper name designation suggest that "qo.re" may be more relevant to specific genealogical or historical details within the biblical text rather than a common concept or theme.
