Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to shake.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G5521: χολή (cholé) • gall, bitterness Usage: The term רֹאשׁ is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a bitter or poisonous plant. It is often associated with the concept of bitterness or toxicity, both in a literal and metaphorical sense. Context: רֹאשׁ (rosh) appears in several passages throughout the Hebrew Bible, often in contexts that emphasize its poisonous or bitter nature. It is frequently mentioned alongside other harmful substances, symbolizing the consequences of sin or divine judgment. For example, in Deuteronomy 29:18, it is used to describe the root that produces gall and wormwood, symbolizing the bitterness and destructive consequences of turning away from God. Similarly, in Hosea 10:4, רֹאשׁ is used metaphorically to describe the fruit of deceitful actions, indicating the harmful outcomes of unfaithfulness. The term is also found in Lamentations 3:5, where it is used to express the bitterness of suffering and affliction. In these contexts, רֹאשׁ serves as a powerful symbol of the destructive nature of sin and the resulting divine retribution.
