Strong's Lexicon zul: To be cheap, to be lightly esteemed, to be despised Original Word: זוּל Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is ἀτιμάζω (atimazō), which means to dishonor or treat with contempt. Usage: The Hebrew verb "zul" conveys the idea of something being considered of little value or being held in contempt. It is often used in contexts where something or someone is regarded as insignificant or unworthy of honor. This term can describe both material objects and abstract concepts, such as wisdom or moral integrity, that are undervalued or scorned. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, honor and shame were significant cultural values. To be esteemed or held in high regard was a mark of social standing and respect. Conversely, to be despised or considered cheap was to be marginalized or dishonored. The concept of "zul" reflects the societal dynamics of honor and shame, where individuals or things could be elevated or diminished based on their perceived worth.
