It is often used in contexts where something is considered of little value or is treated with contempt. The term can also imply a sense of hastiness or quickness, both in physical movement and in the metaphorical sense of being quick to dismiss or belittle.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of weight was often metaphorically linked to importance and honor. Something that was "light" or "slight" was considered less significant or worthy of respect. This cultural understanding is reflected in the usage of "qalah" to describe actions or attitudes that diminish the perceived value or importance of something or someone.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to roast, parch<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>burning (1), parched (1), roasted (2).<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> I.
