It is used to describe something or someone that is held in low regard or is considered insignificant. This word often appears in contexts where the value or honor of a person or thing is diminished or disregarded.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, honor and shame were significant social values. Being held in contempt or considered worthless was a serious social stigma. The concept of "zulluth" reflects the importance of reputation and the communal perception of an individual's or object's value. In a society where community and family ties were paramount, being despised or deemed worthless could have severe social and economic repercussions.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/2151b.htm">zalal</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>worthlessness<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>vileness (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">זֻלֻּת</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>worthlessness</b></font>, only <font class="hebrew2">כְּרֻם זֻלֻּת</font> <font class="hebrew2">לִבְנֵי אָדָם</font> [van d.
