It denotes the part of the animal that is given as a portion in various sacrificial rites, particularly in the context of peace offerings where the thigh is given to the priest as a portion.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, sacrificial offerings were a central aspect of religious life, serving as a means of atonement, thanksgiving, and fellowship with God. The thigh, or "kera," was considered a significant portion of the sacrifice, symbolizing strength and support. The allocation of specific parts of the sacrifice to the priests was a way to provide for their sustenance, as they served in the temple and did not have land inheritance like the other tribes of Israel.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) probably corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/3738.htm">karah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to be distressed<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>distressed (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">כְּרָא</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb Ithpe`el</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>be distressed</b></font> (compare <font class="hebrew2">כַּרְיָא</font> III. adjective <em>suffering</em>, <font class="hebrew2">כְּ רִיוּחָא</font> noun <em>id.</em> D<sup>WB 197</sup>; Syriac <img src="/bdbgif/bdb109709.gif"> <em>be short, abridged</em>, <img src="/bdbgif/bdb109710.gif"> <em>it grieved me</em>; <img src="/bdbgif/bdb109711.gif"> <em>pain, grief</em>; compare Assyrian <i><em>kûru</em></i>, <em>pain</em>; also <img src="/bdbgif/bdb109712.gif"> (derived species) <em>be ill</em>, Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb109713.gif"> <em>dislike, shrink from</em>); — <em>Perfect</em>3masculine singular <font class="hebrew2">אִתְכְּכְּ רִיַת רוּחִי</font> (K<sup>§ 47.
