- קָרָא qârâʼ · H7121 · to cry out, to read, to recite
- Greek ἀναγινώσκω specifically denotes reading written text aloud or silently, while Hebrew קָרָא has broader semantic range including proclaiming, calling out, and summoning, with reading aloud as one specialized application when the object is a written document (e.g. Torah, scroll, letter); the overlap occurs primarily in liturgical/public reading contexts where קָרָא takes a written text as object.
