However, the Greek word "φαλακρός" (phalakros) can be used to describe baldness.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "Qareach" is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe someone who is bald. It is often used in a literal sense to refer to the physical condition of having no hair on the scalp. The word can also carry a connotation of shame or disgrace in certain cultural contexts, as hair was often associated with strength and vitality in ancient Israelite society.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, hair was considered a symbol of strength and virility. The loss of hair, therefore, could be seen as a loss of these attributes. This cultural perspective is evident in the account of Samson, whose strength was linked to his uncut hair. Baldness could also be associated with mourning or a sign of leprosy, which was a condition that rendered individuals ceremonially unclean. Thus, being bald could carry social and religious implications beyond mere physical appearance.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/7139.htm">qarach</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"bald one," a man of Judah<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Kareah (14).<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">קָרֵחַ</font><sub>14</sub> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>in Judah</b></font> (<em>bald one</em>); — <a href="/interlinear/2_kings/25-23.htm">2 Kings 25:23</a>, <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Καρηθ</font>, <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font><sup>L</sup> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Καρηε</font>; <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/40-8.htm">Jeremiah 40:8</a> 12t.
