It conveys the action of penetrating or stabbing, typically in a violent or forceful manner. This term is used in contexts of battle, execution, or divine judgment, emphasizing the physical act of piercing.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, warfare and combat were common, and the act of piercing with a weapon was a familiar concept. The use of "daqar" in the Hebrew Bible often reflects the harsh realities of ancient warfare and the execution of justice. The imagery of piercing also carries symbolic weight, representing judgment, suffering, or the fulfillment of prophecy.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to pierce, pierce through<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>pierce him through (1), pierce me through (2), pierced (1), pierced him through (1), pierced of them through (1), pierced through (1), stricken (1), thrust me through (1), thrust through (1), wounded (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">דָּקַר</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>pierce, pierce through</b></font> (Late Hebrew <em>id.</em>, Aramaic <font class="hebrew2">דְּקַר</font>, <img src="/bdbgif/bdb020101.gif">) — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Qal</b></font> <em>Perfect</em>3<em>plural</em> <font class="hebrew2">דָּקָ֑רוּ</font> <a href="/interlinear/zechariah/12-10.htm">Zechariah 12:10</a>;
