Strong's Lexicon qasheh: Hard, harsh, difficult, stiff, stubborn Original Word: קָשֶׁה Word Origin: Derived from the root קָשָׁה (qashah), meaning "to be hard" or "to be severe." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4642 (skleros): Hard, harsh, rough - G4643 (skleruno): To harden, to make stubborn Usage: The Hebrew word "qasheh" is used to describe something that is hard or difficult, whether in a physical, emotional, or spiritual sense. It can refer to a stubborn or obstinate attitude, a harsh or severe condition, or a difficult situation. The term often conveys a sense of resistance or inflexibility. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of hardness or stubbornness was often associated with the heart and will. A "hard heart" was seen as resistant to God's commands and guidance. The Israelites' frequent disobedience and stubbornness in the wilderness are examples of this concept. The term also reflects the agrarian society's understanding of physical hardness, such as hard soil or difficult labor.
