Strong's Lexicon kashshil: Fool Original Word: כַּשִּׁיל Word Origin: Derived from the root כָּשַׁל (kashal), meaning "to stumble" or "to stagger." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3474 (μωρός, mōros) - Often translated as "fool" in the New Testament, carrying a similar connotation of moral and spiritual folly. Usage: The term "kashshil" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a "fool" or someone who lacks wisdom and understanding. It often carries a moral connotation, implying not just a lack of intelligence but a deficiency in moral and spiritual discernment. The fool is typically portrayed as someone who rejects God's wisdom and guidance, leading to destructive behavior and consequences. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, wisdom was highly valued and was seen as a gift from God. The wisdom literature, including Proverbs, often contrasts the wise with the foolish. A "fool" in this context is not merely someone who is uneducated but someone who is morally and spiritually obtuse, often ignoring the covenantal laws and principles that were central to Israelite society.
