Strong's Lexicon keheh: Dim, faint, dull Original Word: כֵּהֶה Word Origin: Derived from the root verb כהה (kahah), which means to be dim, faint, or dull. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "keheh," the concept of dimness or dullness can be related to Greek words like "τυφλός" (typhlos - blind) or "ἀμβλύς" (amblus - dull, blunt). Usage: The Hebrew word "keheh" is used to describe something that lacks brightness or clarity, often referring to physical sight or the dimming of light. It can also metaphorically describe a lack of understanding or diminished vitality. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, physical sight was often used as a metaphor for understanding and spiritual insight. The dimming of sight, whether literal or metaphorical, could signify a decline in physical health or spiritual awareness. The concept of light and darkness is prevalent throughout the Bible, symbolizing knowledge, purity, and divine presence versus ignorance, sin, and separation from God.
