כָּ֫כָה37 adverb thus (Late Hebrew abbreviated to כָּךְ, with prepositions בֵּין כָּךְ meanwhile, לְפִיכָךְ therefore; probably either from כָה and כְּ, literally as thus, Ol§ 223 h; or from כָּה כָה ii. 1, 253), somewhat more emphatic than כֹּה, usually prefixed to word which it qualifies: — Exod 12:11 וככה תאכלו אתו and thus shall ye eat it, Exod 29:35; Num 8:26; Num 11:15 ואם ככה את עשׂה לי, Num 15:11; Num 15:12; Num 15:13; Deut 25:9; Deut 29:23 (compare 1Kgs 9:8; Jer 22:8); so often with עשׂה: 1Sam 19:17 למה ככה רמיתני why hast thou thus deceived me ? 2Sam 17:21; 1Kgs 1:6; 1Kgs 1:48; Jer 13:9; Jer 19:11; Jer 28:11; Jer 51:64 once with an adjective 2Sam 13:4 מדוע אתה כָכָה דל why art thou thus lean ? Eccl 11:5 answering to כַּאֲשֶׁר ; Ps 144:15 העם שֶׁכָּכָה לוֺ the people to which it is thus. Once 2Chr 18:19 repeated, in this way . . . in that way (|| 1Kgs 22:20 בְּכֹהבְּ֗֗֗כֹה). compare the synonym כָּזֹאת. With a preposition once, in late Hebrew, Esth 9:26 עַלכָּֿ֫כָה concerning such a matter. With the interrogative אי, אֵיכָכָה how ? (p. 32).
