Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3474 (μωρός, mōros) - Often translated as "fool" in the New Testament, carrying a similar connotation of moral and spiritual folly.

Usage: The term "kashshil" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a "fool" or someone who lacks wisdom and understanding. It often carries a moral connotation, implying not just a lack of intelligence but a deficiency in moral and spiritual discernment. The fool is typically portrayed as someone who rejects God's wisdom and guidance, leading to destructive behavior and consequences.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, wisdom was highly valued and was seen as a gift from God.
