רֶ֫גַע noun masculine a moment (Late Hebrew id.;ᵑ7 ריגעא [Eccl 9:12]: probably properly a movement, i.e. twinkling, of the eye; compare momentum, i.e. movimentum); — absolute ׳ר, רָ֑נַע [Num 16:21] +, plural רְגָעִים; —
\ \ a. [Ps 30:6] בְּאַפּוֺ ׳ר a moment (passes) in his anger (opposed to חיים ברצונו); [Isa 54:7] קָטֹן ׳בְּר during a little moment
\ \ b. usually in adverb phrases: — (a) as adverb accusative, (a) [Exod 33:5] אֶהָד ׳ר for one moment, so ׳ר alone [Isa 54:8] repeated [Jer 18:7]; [Jer 18:9] רֶגַע ֗֗֗ רֶגַע at another moment; . . . at another moment; (β) in a moment, suddenly, [Ps 6:11] יָשׁוּבוּ יֵבשׁוּ רָ֑גַע, [Jer 4:20]; [Isa 47:9]; [Job 34:20].
\ \ \ (b) בְּרֶגַע in a moment [Job 21:13] שְׁאוֺל יַחַ֫תּוּ ׳ובר (of a quick and painless death; but see [Job 34:20]; [Ps 73:19]: Hoffm Buhl Baer Bu Du [compare ᵐ5 ἐν ἀναπαύσει, ᵑ7 בְּמַרְגּוֺעָא] take רֶגַע (or read רְגֹעַ) as substantive [√ II. רָגַע] in tranquility, of a peaceful death). So
\ \ \ (c) ׳כְּר [Num 16:21] = [Num 17:10] וַאֲכַלֶּה אֶתֵכֶם כְּרָ֑גַע, [Ps 73:19].
\ \ \ (d) ׳כְּמוֺ ר [Lam 4:6].
\ \ \ (e) עֲדֵי רָ֑גַע while a moment lasts [Job 20:5].
\ \ \ (f) ׳כִּמְעַט ר like the littleness of a moment = for a little moment [Isa 26:20]; [Ezra 9:8].
\ \ \ (g) plural לִרְגָעִים by moments, at every moment, [Isa 27:8]; [Ezek 26:16] ׳וְחָֽרְדוּ ל (so [Ezek 32:10]), [Job 7:18] (|| לִבְקָרִים).
