The word appears in descriptions of physical objects, speech, and character traits, each carrying its own theological and moral implications. 1. Physical Description: The term "smooth" is used to describe surfaces that are even and free from roughness. In <a href="/genesis/27-11.htm">Genesis 27:11</a>, Jacob expresses concern to his mother Rebekah about deceiving his father Isaac, saying, "But my brother Esau is a hairy man, while I am a smooth man." Here, "smooth" refers to the texture of Jacob's skin, contrasting with Esau's hairiness. This physical description plays a crucial role in the narrative of Jacob receiving Isaac's blessing, highlighting themes of deception and identity. 2. Speech and Deception: Smoothness in speech often carries a negative connotation, associated with deceit and flattery. In <a href="/psalms/55-21.htm">Psalm 55:21</a>, the psalmist laments, "His speech is smooth as butter, yet war is in his heart; his words are more soothing than oil, yet they are drawn swords." This verse illustrates the danger of smooth words that mask malicious intent, warning believers to be discerning of those who use flattery for manipulation. 3. Moral and Ethical Implications: The Bible frequently warns against those who use smooth words to lead others astray. In <a href="/romans/16-18.htm">Romans 16:18</a>, Paul cautions the church, "For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive." This admonition underscores the importance of spiritual vigilance and the need to adhere to sound doctrine, as smooth talkers may distort the truth for personal gain. 4. Contrast with Righteousness: The concept of smoothness is often juxtaposed with the straightforwardness and integrity expected of the righteous. <a href="/proverbs/26-28.htm">Proverbs 26:28</a> states, "A lying tongue hates those it crushes, and a flattering mouth works ruin." Here, smooth, flattering speech is contrasted with the honest and upright communication that characterizes a life of righteousness. 5. Symbolism and Imagery: In prophetic literature, smoothness can symbolize false security and misplaced trust. <a href="/isaiah/30-10.htm">Isaiah 30:10-11</a> describes a rebellious people who say to the seers, "Do not see visions," and to the prophets, "Do not prophesy to us the truth. Speak to us pleasant things, prophesy illusions." The desire for smooth, comforting messages rather than the hard truth reflects a rejection of God's guidance and a preference for self-deception. In summary, the biblical use of "smooth" serves as a multifaceted term that can describe physical attributes, speech, and moral character. It often carries a cautionary tone, warning against deception and encouraging believers to seek truth and integrity in their interactions and spiritual lives.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
