Inquiry, examination (possibly punishment after investigation), a hapax in Leviticus 19:20
This feminine noun appears only in Leviticus 19:20, in a law about a man who has relations with a betrothed slave woman. The text says 'there shall be biqqoret' (inquiry/punishment). BDB notes Jewish tradition understood this as 'scourging' (physical punishment), as reflected in the Vulgate and older translations. Modern scholars see it as 'inquiry' or 'investigation' to determine legal liability. The root 'baqar' means to examine or inspect, so the noun likely refers to a legal inquiry, though the exact penalty remains debated.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — A feminine noun meaning 'inquiry' or 'examination,' appearing in the legal case of Leviticus 19:20 concerning a betrothed slave woman. The term derives from 'baqar' (to examine/investigate) and most likely refers to a judicial inquiry to establish facts and determine appropriate consequences. Jewish tradition interpreted it as corporal punishment (scourging), reflected in some translations (castigo, inquiry), but the core sense is investigative examination. The hapax nature and legal context create interpretive challenges about whether it names the inquiry process or its outcome. 1×
