It conveys the idea of something that appears smooth and appealing but is ultimately dangerous or misleading.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of smoothness or slipperiness was often associated with deceit and treachery. Just as a slippery path can lead to a fall, smooth words can lead to moral or spiritual downfall. This imagery would have resonated with a society that valued integrity and straightforwardness, warning against the dangers of being led astray by false appearances.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>by redupl. from <a href="/hebrew/2505b.htm">chalaq</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>smoothness<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>hypocrisy (1), intrigue (1), slippery (1), slippery paths (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">חֲלַקְלַקּוֺת</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun plural feminine abstract</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>smoothness, slipperiness, flattery, fine promises</b></font>;
