However, the Greek word "φαλακρός" (phalakros), meaning "bald," can be considered a general equivalent.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "gibbeach" is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe someone who is bald or has a bald head. It is often used in a descriptive sense, referring to the physical appearance of an individual. The term can carry a neutral connotation, simply describing a state of being, or it can be used in a context that implies shame or disgrace, depending on the cultural and historical setting.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, hair was often associated with strength, vitality, and honor. The loss of hair, particularly in the form of baldness, could be seen as a sign of aging or weakness. In some contexts, baldness was associated with mourning or shame, as seen in various ancient Near Eastern cultures. However, it is important to note that baldness itself was not inherently negative but could be perceived differently depending on the circumstances.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from an unused word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>having a bald forehead<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>bald on the forehead (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">גִּבֵּחַ</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>adjective</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>having a bald forehead</b></font>, <font class="hebrew2">הוּא</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">ג</font> <a href="/interlinear/leviticus/13-41.htm">Leviticus 13:41</a> (P "" <font class="hebrew2">קֵרֵחַ הוּא</font> <a href="/interlinear/leviticus/13-40.htm">Leviticus 13:40</a>). <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>forehead bald <p>From an unused root meaning to be high (in the forehead);
