Usage: The term קְוֻצָּה is used in the context of describing a lock of hair, specifically a forelock. It appears in the Hebrew Bible to denote a specific part of the hair, often associated with cultural or ritual significance. Context: The Hebrew word קְוֻצָּה (qevutstsah) is a noun that refers to a forelock or a lock of hair. This term is rooted in the verb קָצַץ (qatsats), which means "to cut off," indicating that the forelock is a distinct portion of hair that can be separated or cut. In ancient Hebrew culture, hair held significant symbolic meaning, often associated with strength, beauty, and identity. The forelock, as a specific part of the hair, could have been used in various cultural or religious practices, possibly indicating a vow or a particular status. The use of קְוֻצָּה in the Hebrew Bible is limited, but it provides insight into the cultural practices and the importance of hair in ancient Israelite society.
