It reflects a condition where light, both literal and figurative, is absent, leading to a sense of foreboding or sorrow.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, darkness was often associated with chaos, evil, and judgment, contrasting with light, which symbolized order, goodness, and divine presence. The use of "qedorannith" would evoke imagery of times when God's favor seemed distant, and His people experienced trials or divine discipline. This concept is deeply rooted in the Hebrew understanding of the world, where light and darkness are not just physical realities but also spiritual conditions.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/6937.htm">qadar</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>as mourners<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>mourning (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">קְדֹרַנִּית</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>adverb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>as mourners</b></font>; — <a href="/interlinear/malachi/3-14.htm">Malachi 3:14</a>. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>mournfully <p>Adverb from <a href="/hebrew/6937.htm">qadar</a>; blackish ones (i.e. In sackcloth); used adverbially, in mourning weeds -- mournfully. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/6937.htm">qadar</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>קְדֹ֣רַנִּ֔ית קדרנית keDoranNit qə·ḏō·ran·nîṯ qəḏōrannîṯ<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/malachi/3-14.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Malachi 3:14</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/malachi/3.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">וְכִ֤י הָלַ֙כְנוּ֙ <b> קְדֹ֣רַנִּ֔ית </b> מִפְּנֵ֖י יְהוָ֥ה</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/malachi/3.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> and that we have walked <span class="itali">in mourning</span> before<br><a href="/kjvs/malachi/3.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> and that we have walked <span class="itali">mournfully</span> before<br><a href="/interlinear/malachi/3-14.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> for have walked <span class="itali">mourning</span> before God<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6941.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6941.htm">Strong's Hebrew 6941<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/kedorannit_6941.htm">qə·ḏō·ran·nîṯ — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/6940.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="6940"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="6940" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/6942.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="6942"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="6942" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
