It is often used in the context of describing a situation, task, or condition that is challenging or burdensome. The term can also imply stubbornness or obstinacy when referring to people or their hearts.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of hardness or severity was often associated with both physical and metaphorical challenges. The Israelites, living in a harsh desert environment, would have been familiar with the idea of hardness in terms of both the land and life's trials. The term also reflects the spiritual condition of being resistant to God's will, a recurring theme in the Hebrew Scriptures.<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>jug, jar<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>jars (3), pitchers (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">קַשְׂוָה</font>, Kö<sup>ii. 1, 165</sup>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>a kind of jug, jar</b></font>, utensil of tabernacle and (Chronicles) temple;
