Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root verb קוּן (kun), which means "to lament" or "to mourn."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek term for a dirge or lamentation is found in Strong's Greek Number G2354, θρῆνος (threnos), which also denotes a lament or mournful song. This Greek term is used in the New Testament to describe expressions of mourning, similar to the Hebrew קִינָה.

Usage: The term קִינָה is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a specific type of poetic composition that expresses sorrow and mourning. It is often associated with funerals or times of national tragedy.

Context: The Hebrew term קִינָה (Qinah) is a noun that refers to a dirge or lamentation. It is a form of poetic expression found in the Hebrew Scriptures, characterized by its mournful and sorrowful tone. The dirge is typically composed in response to death, disaster, or profound loss, and it serves as a means for the community or individuals to express grief and seek comfort.

In the Old Testament, קִינָה is often associated with the prophetic literature, where prophets would compose dirges to lament the impending judgment or destruction of Israel or other nations. For example, in the book of Ezekiel, the prophet is instructed to take up a lamentation for the princes of Israel (Ezekiel 19:1, BSB: "As for you, take up a lament for the princes of Israel"). Similarly, the book of Lamentations is a collection of dirges mourning the destruction of Jerusalem.

The structure of a קִינָה often includes vivid imagery and metaphor, designed to evoke an emotional response from the listener or reader. It serves both as an expression of grief and as a call to reflection and repentance.
