It is used in contexts that describe a small, sharp action, often with a connotation of annoyance or irritation. The term can be metaphorical, indicating a minor but persistent problem or nuisance.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, language often drew from everyday experiences and the natural world. The action of pinching or biting would have been a common occurrence, whether in the context of animals, insects, or human interactions. Such actions could symbolize minor conflicts or irritations within a community or family setting.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/7171.htm">qerets</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a piece<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>charges (1), maliciously accused* (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">קְרַץ</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>piece</b></font> (<font class="hebrew2">ᵑ7</font>;
