Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to plump or fill up.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry is G4344 (προσκεφάλαιον, proskephalaion), which also refers to a pillow or cushion. This term is used in the New Testament, such as in Mark 4:38, where Jesus is described as sleeping on a cushion in the stern of a boat during a storm, illustrating a moment of peace and trust amidst chaos. Usage: The term כֶּסֶת is used in the context of a cushion or pillow, typically referring to an object used for comfort or support, often in a domestic or resting setting. Context: The Hebrew word כֶּסֶת (keset) appears in the context of domestic life in ancient Israel, where it denotes a cushion or pillow used for comfort. The term is found in the book of Ezekiel, where it is used metaphorically to describe deceitful practices. In Ezekiel 13:18, the prophet condemns false prophetesses who sew magic bands on all wrists and make veils of various lengths for the heads of people of every height to ensnare souls. The use of "pillows" or "cushions" in this passage symbolizes the false sense of security and comfort that these prophetesses offer to the people, leading them away from the truth. The imagery suggests a critique of those who provide false assurances, likening them to soft and comfortable objects that lull individuals into complacency.
