Strong's Lexicon Kesil: Fool, foolhardy, insolent Original Word: כְּסִיל Word Origin: Derived from the root כָּסַל (kasal), meaning "to be foolish" or "to be confident." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3474 (μωρός, mōros): Often translated as "foolish" in the New Testament, sharing a similar connotation of lacking wisdom or understanding. Usage: The Hebrew word "Kesil" is often used in the Old Testament to describe a person who is foolish, lacking wisdom, or acting with insolence. It conveys a sense of moral and spiritual deficiency, often associated with a rejection of God's wisdom and instruction. The "Kesil" is characterized by a stubbornness and a refusal to learn from correction or experience. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, wisdom was highly valued, and the fear of the Lord was considered the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10). The "Kesil" stands in stark contrast to the wise person, often depicted as one who despises wisdom and instruction (Proverbs 1:7). This term reflects the cultural emphasis on living a life aligned with God's commandments and the societal disdain for those who live recklessly or arrogantly.
