However, the concept of spots or markings can be related to Greek terms that describe blemishes or stains, such as σπῖλος (spilos, Strong's Greek 4696), which means "spot" or "blemish." Usage: The term חֲבַרְבֻּרָה is used in the context of describing the distinctive markings or spots on animals, specifically in reference to the leopard's spots. Context: • The Hebrew word חֲבַרְבֻּרָה appears in the Old Testament in the book of Jeremiah. It is used metaphorically to describe the indelible nature of certain characteristics or behaviors. In Jeremiah 13:23, the prophet uses the imagery of a leopard's spots to illustrate the difficulty of changing one's inherent nature: "Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard its spots? Neither are you able to do good—you who are accustomed to doing evil" (BSB). This passage highlights the concept of ingrained habits or traits that are as fixed as the natural markings on a leopard. The use of חֲבַרְבֻּרָה in this context underscores the idea of permanence and the challenge of transformation without divine intervention.
