It is used in the context of animals or people consuming liquid by using their tongues. This action is often associated with a natural, instinctive behavior, particularly in animals.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the act of lapping water was a common sight, especially among animals. Shepherds and those living in agrarian societies would have been familiar with this behavior. The action of lapping water is often contrasted with more refined or human methods of drinking, highlighting a more primal or instinctual approach.<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 lap, lick<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>lapped (2), laps (2), lick (1), licked (2).<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">לָקַק</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>lap, lick</b></font> (Late Hebrew <em>id.</em>, Pi`el; Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb054501.gif"> <em>lick, lap</em> of dog (Wahrm)); — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Qal</b></font> <em>Perfect</em>3masculine singular <font class="hebrew2">לָֽקְקוּ</font> <a href="/interlinear/1_kings/21-19.htm">1 Kings 21:19</a>; <em>Imperfect</em>3masculine singular <font class="hebrew2">יָלֹק</font> <a href="/interlinear/judges/7-5.htm">Judges 7:5</a> (twice in verse); 3masculine plural <font class="hebrew2">יָלֹ֫קּוּ</font> <a href="/interlinear/1_kings/21-19.htm">1 Kings 21:19</a>, <font class="hebrew2">וַיָּלֹ֫קּוּ</font> <a href="/interlinear/1_kings/22-38.htm">1 Kings 22:38</a>; — <em>lap</em>, <font class="hebrew2">יָלֹק בִּלְשׁוֺנוֺ מִןֿ</font> <font class="hebrew2">הַמַּיִם</font> <a href="/interlinear/judges/7-5.htm">Judges 7:5</a>, like of dog <a href="/interlinear/judges/7-5.htm">Judges 7:5</a> (absolute); of dogs <em>lapping up</em> blood (accusative), <a href="/interlinear/1_kings/21-19.htm">1 Kings 21:19</a> (twice in verse); <a href="/interlinear/1_kings/22-38.htm">1 Kings 22:38</a>. <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Pi`el</b></font> <em>Participle</em> plural with article <font class="hebrew2">הַמְֿלַקְקִים</font> <a href="/interlinear/judges/7-6.htm">Judges 7:6</a> (<font class="hebrew2">בְּיָדָם אֶלמִּֿיהֶם</font> is erroneous gloss, see GFM), <a href="/interlinear/judges/7-7.htm">Judges 7:7</a>; in both = <em>lap, lap up</em> (= <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Oal</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/judges/7-5.htm">Judges 7:5</a>). <p><font class="hebrew2">לקשׁ</font> (√ of following; Late Hebrew <font class="hebrew2">לקשׁ</font> <em>be late</em> (Hiph`il and derivatives ); Aramaic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb054502.gif"> <em>make</em> or <em>do late</em>, <font class="hebrew2">לְקִישָׁא</font>, <img src="/bdbgif/bdb054503.gif"> <em>late</em>; vulgar Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb054504.gif"> <em>be late</em> (Hauran), Wetzst in De<sup>Job 24:6</sup>, so II.
