Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The Greek equivalent for the concept of honor or glory, as expressed by הֶדֶר, can be found in Strong's Greek entries such as δόξα (doxa, Strong's Greek 1391), which similarly conveys the idea of glory, honor, and splendor. This term is frequently used in the New Testament to describe the majesty and honor of God and Christ, as well as the glory bestowed upon believers.

Usage: The term הֶדֶר is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the honor or majesty attributed to individuals, objects, or divine entities. It is often used in poetic and prophetic literature to emphasize the grandeur and esteemed nature of the subject.

Context: • The term הֶדֶר appears in various contexts within the Hebrew Scriptures, often highlighting the esteemed nature of a person or object. For instance, in Isaiah 35:2, the word is used to describe the glory of Lebanon, Carmel, and Sharon, emphasizing their beauty and splendor: "It will blossom abundantly and even rejoice with joy and singing. The glory of Lebanon will be given to it, the splendor of Carmel and Sharon. They will see the glory of the LORD, the splendor of our God" (BSB).
• In the Psalms, הֶדֶר is frequently associated with the majesty of God, as seen in Psalm 29:4: "The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty" (BSB). Here, the term underscores the divine power and grandeur inherent in God's voice.
• The concept of הֶדֶר is not limited to divine attributes but extends to human dignity and honor. In Proverbs 20:29, it is used to describe the glory of young men: "The glory of young men is their strength, and the splendor of old men is their gray hair" (BSB). This highlights the respect and honor associated with both youth and age.
• The use of הֶדֶר in prophetic literature often serves to contrast the fleeting nature of human glory with the enduring majesty of God. This is evident in passages that juxtapose human pride with divine splendor, reminding readers of the ultimate source of true honor.
