1386. gabnon

Strong's Lexicon

gabnon: Hump, Hunchback

Original Word: גַּבְנֹן
Part of Speech: Noun Masculine
Transliteration: gabnon
Pronunciation: gab-NONE
Phonetic Spelling: (gab-nohn')
Definition: Hump, Hunchback
Meaning: a hump, peak of hills

Word Origin: Derived from the root גָּבַן (gaban), which is not used in the Hebrew Bible but is related to the concept of curvature or hump.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance that corresponds to "gabnon." However, the concept of physical imperfection can be related to Greek terms describing bodily conditions, such as "σκολιός" (skolios), meaning crooked or bent.

Usage: The term "gabnon" refers to a physical deformity, specifically a hump or hunchback. It is used in the context of describing physical imperfections that disqualified individuals from certain religious duties in ancient Israel.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, physical wholeness was often associated with ritual purity and the ability to serve in religious capacities. The Levitical laws outlined specific physical conditions that would disqualify a person from serving as a priest. This was not a reflection of the individual's worth or spiritual standing before God but rather a symbolic representation of the perfection and holiness required in the service of the sanctuary.
