Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root כָּסַל (kasal), which means to be fat, to be foolish, or to be silly.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G3474 • μωρός (moros): This Greek term is often used in the New Testament to describe someone who is foolish or lacking in judgment, similar to the Hebrew כְּסִיל. It appears in contexts that emphasize the folly of those who do not heed wisdom or divine instruction, such as in the parable of the wise and foolish builders (Matthew 7:26) and the parable of the ten virgins (Matthew 25:2-3). Usage: The word כְּסִיל is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe individuals who are foolish, often in a moral or spiritual sense. It is frequently contrasted with wisdom and understanding, highlighting the folly of those who reject divine instruction or live without regard for God's ways. Context: The Hebrew term כְּסִיל (kesil) appears numerous times throughout the Old Testament, often in wisdom literature such as Proverbs and Ecclesiastes. It characterizes individuals who are not only lacking in intellectual acumen but are also morally deficient. The כְּסִיל is depicted as someone who despises wisdom and instruction (Proverbs 1:7), is complacent in their folly (Proverbs 1:32), and is often associated with shame and disgrace (Proverbs 3:35). In the Psalms, the כְּסִיל is portrayed as someone who denies God and acts corruptly (Psalm 14:1). The term underscores the biblical theme that true wisdom begins with the fear of the Lord, and those who reject this foundation are deemed foolish. Ecclesiastes further explores the futility and destructiveness of folly, contrasting it with the benefits of wisdom. The כְּסִיל is often juxtaposed with the wise, serving as a cautionary figure for those who would live without regard for divine truth and moral integrity.
