While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence, similar ideas can be found in Greek words such as σκληρός (sklēros • G4642), which means hard or harsh, and πωρόω (pōroō • G4456), which means to harden. These Greek terms are used in contexts that convey the idea of hardness, whether of heart or circumstances, similar to the Hebrew קָשָׂה. Usage: The term קָשָׂה is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe something that is difficult, harsh, or severe. It can refer to physical hardness or metaphorical severity, such as a difficult situation or a harsh word. Context: The Hebrew root קָשָׂה (qāsâ) appears in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, often conveying the idea of something being hard or difficult. This can refer to physical objects that are hard or difficult to break, as well as to situations or conditions that are severe or challenging. The term is used to describe the hardening of Pharaoh's heart in Exodus, indicating a stubborn or unyielding disposition. It also appears in contexts where people face severe trials or harsh treatment. The word captures both the physical and metaphorical aspects of hardness, emphasizing the challenges and difficulties faced by individuals or groups.
