It is used in the context of physical appearance and is often associated with conditions that cause hair loss. In the biblical context, it is sometimes linked to ritual purity and health.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, hair was often seen as a symbol of strength and vitality. Baldness, therefore, could be perceived as a sign of weakness or a condition that required attention. The Levitical laws addressed various skin conditions, including baldness, to maintain ritual purity and community health. Baldness was not inherently impure, but it was important to distinguish between natural baldness and conditions like leprosy.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/7139.htm">qarach</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>baldness of head<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>bald head (2), bareness* (1), head (1), top (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">קָרַחַת</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>baldness of head</b></font>;
