Strong's Lexicon Qedesh: Kadesh Original Word: קֶדֶשׁ Word Origin: Derived from the root קָדַשׁ (qadash), meaning "to be holy" or "to be set apart." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for the proper noun "Qedesh," the concept of holiness or being set apart is captured in Greek by words such as ἅγιος (hagios, Strong's G40), meaning "holy" or "saint." Usage: Qedesh, or Kadesh, is a term used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a specific location, often associated with holiness or being set apart. It is most commonly known as a city of refuge and a Levitical city in the territory of Naphtali. The name itself implies a sense of sanctity or consecration. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, cities of refuge were designated places where individuals who had accidentally committed manslaughter could seek asylum from avengers until a fair trial could be conducted. Kadesh in Naphtali served this purpose, highlighting its role in the justice system of ancient Israel. Additionally, Kadesh is historically significant as a site of various biblical events, including the encampment of the Israelites during their wilderness wanderings.
