It can mean to make light of something, to treat it with contempt or disrespect, or to curse. The term is used in various contexts, including the belittling of people, objects, or even divine commands. It can also imply a reduction in status or value.Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, words carried significant weight, and the act of cursing or belittling was taken seriously. The concept of "qalal" reflects a worldview where honor and respect were paramount, and to "make light" of someone or something was to undermine their dignity or worth. This was especially important in a society where social and familial relationships were tightly knit and hierarchical.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div>Word Origin a prim. root Definition to be slight, swift or trifling NASB Translation abated (2), accursed (1), brought a curse (1), contempt (1), contemptible (1), curse (15), cursed (16), curses (8), cursing (2), despise (1), despised (2), ease (1), easier (1), easy (2), insignificant (1), light a thing (1), lighten (5), lightly esteemed (2), make it lighter (2), moved to and fro (1), shakes (1), sharpen (1), slight thing (1), small a thing (1), superficially (2), swift (1), swifter (5), treat us with contempt (1), treated (1), treated and lightly (1), trivial (1), trivial thing (1).<div align="center"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [קָלַל]82 verb be slight, swift, trifling (probably originally be light; Late Hebrew [קָלַל], קַל, קִלֵּל=Biblical Hebrew; Assyrian ‡alâlu II. depise, dishonour; so Tel Amarna (apparently Canaanism); Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb088603.gif"> be small, scanty; Sabean קללם scanty Hal 143.8f.
