Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the root כָּדַד (kadad), which means "to strike off" or "to cut."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct Greek equivalent for כִידוֹד, the concept of a spark or something fleeting can be related to Greek terms that describe transience or brevity, such as ἀτμίς (atmís, Strong's Greek 822), meaning "vapor" or "mist," which also conveys the idea of something that appears briefly and then vanishes.

Usage: The word כִידוֹד is used in the context of describing a spark, often metaphorically, to illustrate something fleeting or transient.

Context: • כִידוֹד appears in the Hebrew Bible in a poetic context, illustrating the ephemeral nature of sparks. This imagery is used to convey the idea of something that is momentary and quickly vanishes. The metaphor of a spark is employed to describe the brevity and fleeting nature of life or certain experiences.
• In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is found in Job 18:5, where it is used to describe the short-lived nature of the wicked's prosperity: "Indeed, the light of the wicked is extinguished; the flame of his fire does not glow."
• The use of כִידוֹד in this passage emphasizes the sudden and inevitable end of the wicked's apparent success, much like a spark that quickly fades away.
