Berean Strong's Lexicon qadar: To be dark, to mourn, to grow dark Original Word: קָדַר Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "qadar," the concept of mourning or darkness can be related to Greek words such as "σκοτία" (skotia - darkness) and "πενθέω" (pentheo - to mourn). Usage: The Hebrew verb "qadar" primarily conveys the idea of becoming dark or gloomy. It is often used metaphorically to describe a state of mourning or sorrow, reflecting the somber mood associated with grief. The term can also refer to the literal darkening of the sky, as in the case of clouds or an eclipse. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, darkness was often associated with mourning, distress, or divine judgment. The act of wearing sackcloth and ashes, along with other mourning practices, symbolized a state of qadar. This cultural context highlights the deep emotional and spiritual connotations of the word, as darkness was not only a physical state but also a representation of inner turmoil or divine displeasure.
