U+0595 "֕" Hebrew Accent Zaqef Gadol is a cantillation mark used in the Masoretic text of the Hebrew Bible, specifically serving as a disjunctive accent that indicates a stronger pause or break within a verse compared to the standard Zaqef Qatan. It is typically placed above or within a stressed syllable of a word, assisting in the proper liturgical chanting and grammatical parsing of biblical passages by delineating major syntactic divisions. This accent is part of the complex system of Te' amim, or biblical trope, which provides both musical and textual interpretative guidance for reading the Hebrew scriptures aloud.
