Strong's Lexicon qallasah: Mockery, scorn, derision Original Word: קַלָּסָה Word Origin: Derived from the root קָלַס (qalal), which means "to mock" or "to scorn." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with mockery is "μυκτηρίζω" (muktērizō), which appears in the New Testament, such as in Galatians 6:7, "Do not be deceived: God is not mocked." Usage: The term "qallasah" refers to the act of mocking or deriding someone or something. It conveys a sense of contempt and ridicule, often directed towards individuals or groups. In the biblical context, it is used to describe the scornful attitude of people towards God, His prophets, or His commandments. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, mockery was a serious offense, especially when directed towards God or His anointed leaders. It was seen as a sign of disrespect and rebellion against divine authority. The Hebrew culture placed a high value on honor and respect, and mockery was considered a violation of these principles. The prophets often faced mockery from those who rejected their messages, reflecting the spiritual rebellion of the people.
