With 127 occurrences throughout the Hebrew Bible, this verb appears frequently enough to represent a significant concept in biblical communication.

This could apply to inventory, personnel, or any matter requiring careful enumeration and documentation. The practical range of this word extends across contexts where formal accounting or acknowledgment becomes necessary. Whether in administrative contexts (listing people or property) or in relational ones (taking notice of someone's condition or needs), paqad involves bringing something within the scope of deliberate reckoning. The verb suggests both the act of counting itself and the consequent responsibility that comes from such official recognition.
