SIBI-P1 H7043-09

he was made light

Rootקלל (q-l-l)
Core Meaningslightness, smallness, swiftness, insignificance, contempt, cursing
Semantic Rangeto be light in weight, to be swift, to be insignificant, to be treated lightly, to be despised, to be brought into contempt
Conceptual SignificanceThe root קלל often conveys the movement from physical lightness to social or moral trivialization. In biblical theology, being "made light" can signal dishonor, contempt, or diminished status, contrasting with the weightiness (כבד) associated with honor and glory.
Morphological NotesVerb, Niphal stem, perfect (qatal) form, 3rd person masculine singular. Niphal conveys passive or reflexive nuance of the Qal root "to be/make light."
Rendering RationaleThe form נָקָל is Niphal perfect 3rd masculine singular from קלל, expressing a passive or reflexive sense. "He was made light" preserves the root idea of lightness while reflecting the Niphal stem (passive) and the third-person masculine singular morphology.
