SIBI-P1 H7031-01
light (one)
| Root | קלל (q-l-l) |
| Core Meanings | lightness, smallness, swiftness, insignificance, slightness |
| Semantic Range | light in weight, not burdensome, swift or rapid, insignificant, trifling, easy |
| Conceptual Significance | In the Hebrew Bible, "light" often stands in contrast to "heavy" (כבד), a term associated with glory, honor, and weightiness. Thus קַל can imply not only physical lightness but also social or moral insignificance, ease, or swiftness, shaping biblical contrasts between what is weighty and what is slight. |
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, masculine singular absolute (HAamsa). Functions attributively or predicatively to describe a masculine singular noun as light, slight, or swift. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective קַל derives from the root קלל, conveying lightness or slightness in contrast to heaviness. The form is masculine singular absolute, so "light (one)" preserves its singular masculine force while reflecting the core sense of being light, swift, or of little weight. |
