Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root קָלַל (qalal), which means "to be light" or "to be slighted."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G458: ἀνομία (anomia) • Often translated as "lawlessness" or "iniquity," this term reflects a state of moral disgrace or rebellion against divine law.
• G819: ἀτιμία (atimia) • This Greek term is directly related to the concept of dishonor or disgrace, similar to קָלוֹן, and is used in the New Testament to describe a state of shame or loss of honor.

In summary, קָלוֹן (qalōn) is a multifaceted term that captures the essence of disgrace and shame, both in moral and physical contexts, within the Hebrew Scriptures. It serves as a poignant reminder of the consequences of actions that lead to dishonor in the sight of God and society.

Usage: The word קָלוֹן is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a state of disgrace or dishonor, often in a moral or social context. It can also imply a physical exposure that leads to shame.

Context: • קָלוֹן (qalōn) appears in various contexts throughout the Hebrew Scriptures, often associated with shame or dishonor brought upon individuals or groups due to their actions or circumstances. For instance, in Proverbs 18:3, it is written, "With wickedness comes contempt, and with disgrace, shame." This highlights the moral implications of the term, linking disgrace with unethical behavior.
• In Isaiah 22:18, the term is used metaphorically to describe the disgrace of being cast out: "He will roll you up tightly like a ball and sling you into a wide land. There you will die, and there your glorious chariots will remain—a disgrace to your master’s house."
• The term can also be found in contexts where physical exposure is equated with shame, as seen in Habakkuk 2:16: "You will be filled with shame instead of glory. You too must drink and expose your uncircumcision! The cup in the LORD’s right hand will come around to you, and utter disgrace will cover your glory."
• קָלוֹן is often used in prophetic literature to describe the consequences of sin and rebellion against God, serving as a warning of the social and spiritual repercussions of turning away from divine commandments.
