Usage: This term is used in the context of describing something that lacks substance or value, often in a metaphorical or figurative sense. Context: The Hebrew word קְלֹקֵל (qelōqēl) appears in the Old Testament to convey the idea of something being insubstantial or lacking in weight and significance. It is derived from the root קלל (qalal), which is associated with lightness or triviality. This term is used to describe objects, actions, or even people that are considered to be of little worth or importance. The concept of insubstantiality in the Hebrew Bible often carries a moral or spiritual connotation, suggesting that what is being described is not only physically light but also lacking in moral or spiritual weight. The usage of קְלֹקֵל (qelōqēl) serves as a reminder of the transient and fleeting nature of certain things in contrast to the enduring and substantial nature of what is truly valuable in the sight of God.
