The first occurrence.
And God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. Gen 1:5
The primitive root.
Strong’s H7121 קרא qara, a primitive root meaning, “to call.” The 3-letter root is quph + resh + aleph.
quph ק = sun on the horizon, thus condense, circle, time
resh ר = the head of man, thus head, first, top, beginning, man
aleph א = the ox head, thus strength, power, leader
The story: Gather (quph, as light is gathered to the sun when it is on the horizon) the men (resh) in their strength (aleph).
