denotes an event that overtakes a person—an “occurrence” that can be either morally neutral (Ecclesiastes 9:11) or adverse when paired with רָע (evil) in 1 Kings 5:4. The underlying idea is “that which meets” someone, reflecting the verb pagaʿ (“to encounter, touch, intercede”). In biblical thought, what “happens” to people is never outside God’s knowledge; even seeming accidents are woven into His providence.
- HAPPEN (QARAH) : refer to favorable opportunity/time
- He makes time and chance happen to you
