It is used to describe actions that are done quickly or with haste. This can refer to physical movement, decision-making, or the execution of tasks. The term often implies a sense of urgency or necessity, prompting immediate action.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of haste was significant in various contexts, from military actions to religious observances. The urgency to act quickly could be driven by external threats, divine commands, or the need to fulfill social and religious duties. The cultural emphasis on promptness reflects a worldview where time and timing were crucial, especially in a society that valued obedience and responsiveness to God's commands.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>denominative verb from <a href="/hebrew/4119.htm">mohar</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to acquire by paying a purchase price<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>bartered (1), pay a dowry (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> III. <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>[<font class="hebrew2">מָהַר</font>]</b></font> <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb denominative</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>acquire by paying purchase-price</b></font> (Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb055503.gif"> <em>give a dowry</em>, marry for a <img src="/bdbgif/bdb055504.gif">; compare Gerber<sup>Verb. denominative 12</sup> Buhl SS); — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Qal</b></font> <em>Perfect</em>3plural <font class="hebrew2">מָהָ֑רוּ</font> <a href="/interlinear/psalms/16-4.htm">Psalm 16:4</a> usually <em>obtain</em> another <em>in exchange</em> (or, by paying a price, compare Che), but text dubious; <em>Imperfect</em>3masculine singular suffix+ <em>Infinitive absolute</em> <font class="hebrew2">מָהֹר יִמְהָרֶנָּה לוֺ לְאִשָּׁה</font> <a href="/interlinear/exodus/22-15.htm">Exodus 22:15</a> (E). <p><font class="hebrew2">ַמהֲתַלּוֺת</font> see <font class="hebrew2">תלל</font>. <p>I. <font class="hebrew2">מו</font> a paragogic syllable, attached to <font class="hebrew2">בְּ</font>, <font class="hebrew2">כְּ</font>, <font class="hebrew2">לְ</font> (q. v.), so as to form with them independent words, <font class="hebrew2">בְּמוֺ</font>, <font class="hebrew2">כְּמוֺ</font>, <font class="hebrew2">לְמוֺ</font> (q. v.)
