Strong's Lexicon kebeduth: Heaviness, weightiness, honor Original Word: כְּבֵדוּת Word Origin: Derived from the root כָּבֵד (kaved), meaning "to be heavy" or "to be honored." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and the New Testament is δόξα (doxa), which means "glory" or "honor." This term is used extensively in the New Testament to describe the glory of God and the honor due to Him. Usage: The term "kebeduth" primarily conveys a sense of heaviness or weightiness, both in a literal and metaphorical sense. It can refer to physical heaviness or to the concept of honor and glory, reflecting the weight of one's reputation or presence. In the Hebrew mindset, heaviness is often associated with significance and importance. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, weight was often associated with value and importance. For example, gold and silver were measured by weight, and a person's honor or reputation was considered "heavy" or significant. This concept is reflected in the use of "kebeduth" to describe both physical and metaphorical weight. The idea of honor being "heavy" is also seen in the cultural practices of giving weighty gifts or offerings to show respect and reverence.
