3516. kabed
Berean Strong's Lexicon
kabed: Heavy, weighty, burdensome, honored

Original Word: כָּבֵד
Part of Speech: Noun Feminine
Transliteration: kabed
Pronunciation: kah-BED
Phonetic Spelling: (kaw-bade')
Definition: Heavy, weighty, burdensome, honored
Meaning: the liver

Word Origin: Derived from the root כָּבֵד (k-b-d), which means "to be heavy" or "to be honored."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5092 (τιμή, timē): Often translated as "honor" or "value," reflecting a similar concept of esteem and worth.

- G1391 (δόξα, doxa): Translated as "glory," which carries the idea of weightiness and honor.

Usage: The Hebrew word "kabed" primarily conveys the idea of weightiness, both in a literal and metaphorical sense. It can refer to physical heaviness or burdensomeness, as well as to honor and glory. In the context of honor, it implies something or someone that is significant, respected, or esteemed.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, weight was often associated with value and importance. For example, gold and silver were measured by weight, and the concept of "glory" (כָּבוֹד, kavod) is closely related to "kabed," suggesting that honor and respect are akin to carrying weight or significance. This cultural understanding is reflected in various biblical texts where honor and glory are attributed to God and esteemed individuals.
