<p> ''''' sûrch ''''' : Some peculiar senses are: (1) In the books of Moses, especially in Nu, "searching out the land" means to spy out ( רגּל , <i> ''''' raggēl ''''' </i> ), to investigate carefully, to examine with a view to giving a full and accurate report on. (2) When applied to the Scriptures, as in &nbsp; Ezra 4:15 , &nbsp;Ezra 4:19 ( בּקר , <i> ''''' baḳḳēr ''''' </i> ); &nbsp;John 5:39; &nbsp;1 Peter 1:11 ( ἐραυνάω , <i> ''''' eraunáō ''''' </i> ), it means to examine, to study out the meaning. In &nbsp;Acts 17:11 , the Revised Version (British and American) substitutes "examining" for the "searched" of the King James Version. See [[Searchings]] . (3) "Search out" often means to study critically, to investigate carefully, e.g. &nbsp;Job 8:8; &nbsp;Job 29:16; &nbsp;Ecclesiastes 1:13; &nbsp;Lamentations 3:40; &nbsp;Matthew 2:8; &nbsp;1 Corinthians 2:10; &nbsp;1 Peter 1:10 . (4) When the word is applied to God's searching the heart or spirit, it means His opening up, laying bare, disclosing what was hidden, e.g. &nbsp;1 Chronicles 28:9; &nbsp;Psalm 44:21; &nbsp;Psalm 139:1; &nbsp;Proverbs 20:27; &nbsp;Jeremiah 17:10; &nbsp;Romans 8:27 . </p>
