weightiness (honor)
| Root | כבד (k-b-d) |
| Core Meanings | heaviness, weight, density, significance, honor |
| Semantic Range | physical weight; abundance; honor; reputation; splendor; majesty; divine glory; material wealth as a sign of importance |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical theology, כָּבוֹד expresses the palpable weight and manifest presence of YHWH, conveying not merely brightness but the substantial, overwhelming reality of His being. It also denotes human honor and social standing, linking the idea of importance with the metaphor of heaviness. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun in the absolute state (HNcbsa), from the root כבד. Functions as a concrete noun used figuratively for abstract qualities such as honor or glory. |
| Rendering Rationale | כָּבוֹד is a masculine singular absolute noun derived from the root כבד, meaning "to be heavy" or "weighty." The rendering "weightiness" preserves the concrete root sense of heaviness, while "(honor)" reflects its figurative development into social and divine significance, thus maintaining both the root imagery and the noun’s singular form. |
