SIBI-P1 H7036-01
disgrace of lightness
| Root | קלה (q-l-h) |
| Core Meanings | lightness, smallness, triviality, being slight, contempt |
| Semantic Range | disgrace, shame, dishonor, reproach, ignominy; by implication exposure or public humiliation; in some contexts a euphemism for the pudenda. |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical theology, honor and weight (כבוד) contrast with lightness and contempt (קלה). קָלוֹן represents the social and covenantal consequence of being treated as insignificant—loss of honor before community and before YHWH—often as a result of sin or folly. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun in the absolute state (HNcmsa); no suffix; functions as a concrete abstract noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | קָלוֹן is a masculine singular noun derived from קלה (“to be light, slight, of little account”). The rendering “disgrace of lightness” preserves the root idea of being made light or treated as insignificant, which in Hebrew thought results in shame or dishonor, while reflecting the singular absolute form. |
