Strong's Lexicon kehah: Dullness, dimness, faintness Original Word: כֵּהָה Word Origin: Derived from the root כָּהָה (kāhāh), which means to be dim, faint, or dull. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of dimness or dullness can be related to Greek words such as ἀμβλύς (amblus), meaning blunt or dull, and σκοτία (skotia), meaning darkness, which are used in the Septuagint and the New Testament to convey similar ideas of lack of clarity or understanding. Usage: The Hebrew word "kehah" is used to describe a state of diminished intensity or clarity. It can refer to physical dimness, such as the fading of light or the dulling of vision, as well as metaphorical dullness, such as a lack of sharpness in perception or understanding. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, light and clarity were often associated with life, understanding, and divine presence. Conversely, dimness or dullness could symbolize a lack of vitality, insight, or spiritual awareness. The concept of "kehah" would have resonated with a people who valued wisdom and clarity, both physically and spiritually.
