In the New Testament, similar concepts are expressed with words like "ματαιότης" (mataiotēs), meaning vanity or futility.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The Hebrew word "qeloqel" is used to describe something that is considered of little value or importance. It conveys a sense of worthlessness or triviality, often in a moral or ethical context. This term is used to highlight the insignificance or lack of substance in a person, action, or object.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of worth and value was deeply tied to one's relationship with God and adherence to His commandments. The use of "qeloqel" would have been a strong indictment against anything or anyone deemed unworthy in the eyes of the community or God. This reflects the broader biblical theme of distinguishing between what is valuable and what is not, both materially and spiritually.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/7043.htm">qalal</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>contemptible, worthless<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>miserable (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">קְלֹקֵל</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>adjective</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>contemptible, worthless</b></font> (compare Ol<sup>§ 189 f</sup> Ba<sup>NB 160</sup>); — <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">בַּלֶּחֶם הַקּ</font> <a href="/interlinear/numbers/21-5.htm">Numbers 21:5</a> (JE). <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>light <p>From <a href="/hebrew/7043.htm">qalal</a>; insubstantial -- light. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/7043.htm">qalal</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>הַקְּלֹקֵֽל׃ הקלקל׃ hakkeloKel haq·qə·lō·qêl haqqəlōqêl<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/numbers/21-5.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Numbers 21:5</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/numbers/21.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">קָ֔צָה בַּלֶּ֖חֶם <b> הַקְּלֹקֵֽל׃ </b> </span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/numbers/21.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> and we loathe <span class="itali">this miserable</span> food.<br><a href="/kjvs/numbers/21.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> loatheth <span class="itali">this light</span> bread.<br><a href="/interlinear/numbers/21-5.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> loathe food <span class="itali">miserable</span><p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7052.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7052.htm">Strong's Hebrew 7052<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/hakkelokel_7052.htm">haq·qə·lō·qêl — 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/7051.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="7051"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="7051" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/7053.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="7053"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="7053" /></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>
