It conveys a sense of earnest seeking or asking, reflecting a deep desire or need. In the biblical context, it is used to express the act of seeking God's favor, guidance, or intervention.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, making a request or petition was a common practice, both in interpersonal relationships and in one's relationship with God. The act of petitioning was often accompanied by prayer, fasting, or other forms of supplication, reflecting the seriousness and sincerity of the request. The concept of seeking or requesting is deeply embedded in the covenant relationship between God and His people, where God invites His people to seek Him and His will.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/1245.htm">baqash</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>request, entreaty<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>request (6), requested (1), what i request (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">בַּקָּשָׁה</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>request, entreaty</b></font>, <font class="hebrew2">בַּקָּשָׁתִי</font> <a href="/interlinear/esther/5-7.htm">Esther 5:7,8</a>; <a href="/interlinear/esther/7-3.htm">Esther 7:3</a>; <font class="hebrew2">בַּקָּשָׁתֵךְ</font>; <a href="/interlinear/esther/5-3.htm">Esther 5:3</a>; <a href="/interlinear/esther/9-12.htm">Esther 9:12</a>; <font class="hebrew2">בַּקָּשָׁתוֺ</font> <a href="/interlinear/ezra/7-6.htm">Ezra 7:6</a>. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>request <p>From <a href="/hebrew/1245.htm">baqash</a>; a petition -- request. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/1245.htm">baqash</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>בְּבַקָּשָׁתִֽי׃ בַּקָּשָׁתִ֑י בַּקָּשָׁתֵ֛ךְ בַּקָּשָׁתֵ֥ךְ בַּקָּשָׁתֽוֹ׃ בבקשתי׃ בקשתו׃ בקשתי בקשתך וּבַקָּשָׁתִֽי׃ ובקשתי׃ bakkashaTech bakkashaTi bakkashaTo baq·qā·šā·ṯêḵ baq·qā·šā·ṯî baq·qā·šā·ṯōw baqqāšāṯêḵ baqqāšāṯî baqqāšāṯōw bə·ḇaq·qā·šā·ṯî bəḇaqqāšāṯî bevakkashaTi ū·ḇaq·qā·šā·ṯî ūḇaqqāšāṯî uvakkashaTi<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/ezra/7-6.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Ezra 7:6</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/ezra/7.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">עָלָ֔יו כֹּ֖ל <b> בַּקָּשָׁתֽוֹ׃ </b> פ </span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/ezra/7.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> him all <span class="itali">he requested</span> because the hand<br><a href="/kjvs/ezra/7.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> granted <span class="itali">him all his request,</span> according to the hand<br><a href="/interlinear/ezra/7-6.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> and all <span class="itali">requested</span><p><b><a href="/text/esther/5-3.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Esther 5:3</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/esther/5.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">הַמַּלְכָּ֑ה וּמַה־ <b> בַּקָּשָׁתֵ֛ךְ </b> עַד־ חֲצִ֥י</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/esther/5.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> And what <span class="itali">is your request?</span> Even<br><a href="/kjvs/esther/5.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> Esther? <span class="itali">and what [is] thy request?</span> it shall be even given<br><a href="/interlinear/esther/5-3.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> Queen to her What <span class="itali">request</span> against to half<p><b><a href="/text/esther/5-6.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Esther 5:6</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/esther/5.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">לָ֑ךְ וּמַה־ <b> בַּקָּשָׁתֵ֛ךְ </b> עַד־ חֲצִ֥י</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/esther/5.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> to you.
