Strong's Lexicon kislah: Confidence, hope, folly Original Word: כְּסִלָה Word Origin: Derived from the root כָּסַל (kasal), which means to be foolish or to trust. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5287 (ὑπόστασις, hypostasis) - often translated as "confidence" or "assurance." - G1680 (ἐλπίς, elpis) - translated as "hope." Usage: The Hebrew word "kislah" primarily conveys the idea of confidence or hope, often in a context that implies a misplaced trust or folly. It is used to describe a sense of security or assurance that may not be well-founded, highlighting the contrast between true wisdom and foolishness. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of wisdom and folly was central to understanding one's relationship with God and the world. Wisdom was seen as aligning oneself with God's will and understanding, while folly was often associated with self-reliance and misplaced trust. The use of "kislah" reflects this dichotomy, emphasizing the importance of placing one's confidence in God rather than in human strength or understanding.
