Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G758: ἄρχων (archon) • While not a direct translation, this Greek term refers to a ruler or leader, often associated with authority, which can metaphorically relate to the concept of the "head" or "crown" as a position of prominence.
• G2776: κεφαλή (kephalē) • This Greek word directly translates to "head" and is used in the New Testament to denote the physical head, as well as metaphorically to indicate leadership or authority, similar to the Hebrew קָדְקֹד.

The term קָדְקֹד, while primarily denoting the physical crown of the head, carries rich symbolic meanings throughout the biblical text, often associated with themes of leadership, blessing, and divine justice.

Usage: The term קָדְקֹד is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to the crown or top of the head, often in a metaphorical or symbolic context, indicating a place of prominence or vulnerability.

Context: • The Hebrew word קָדְקֹד appears in several Old Testament passages, often in poetic or prophetic literature. It is used to describe the physical crown of the head, but it also carries symbolic meanings, such as the seat of honor or the point of vulnerability.

• In Psalm 7:16, it is used to describe the consequences of wickedness: "His trouble recoils on himself, and his violence falls on his own head."
• The term is also found in Habakkuk 3:13, where it describes the defeat of the wicked: "You went forth for the salvation of Your people, to save Your anointed. You crushed the head of the house of the wicked, stripping it from head to foot."
• The imagery associated with קָדְקֹד often emphasizes the idea of divine protection or judgment, highlighting the head as a focal point of blessing or retribution.
