Strong's Lexicon qalon: Shame, disgrace, dishonor Original Word: קָלוֹן Word Origin: Derived from the root קָלַל (qalal), which means "to be light" or "to be slight." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for "qalon" is αἰσχύνη (aischynē), which also means shame or disgrace. Usage: The Hebrew word "qalon" primarily denotes a state of shame or disgrace. It is used in the Old Testament to describe situations where individuals or groups experience dishonor, often as a result of sin, disobedience, or defeat. The term conveys a sense of public humiliation and loss of respect. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, honor and shame were pivotal social values. Honor was associated with social standing, reputation, and the respect of one's community, while shame was seen as a severe social stigma. The concept of "qalon" reflects the communal nature of ancient Near Eastern cultures, where an individual's actions could bring either honor or shame not only upon themselves but also upon their family and community. The loss of honor, or the experience of shame, was often seen as a consequence of failing to uphold the covenant with God.
