Strong's Lexicon qasah or qasvah: To be hard, severe, difficult Original Word: קָשָׂה Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4642 (σκληρός, sklēros): Hard, harsh, rough - G4643 (σκληροκαρδία, sklērokardia): Hardness of heart Usage: The Hebrew verb "qasah" or "qasvah" primarily conveys the idea of something being hard, severe, or difficult. It is often used in the context of describing a situation, task, or condition that is challenging or burdensome. The term can also imply stubbornness or obstinacy when referring to people or their hearts. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of hardness or severity was often associated with both physical and metaphorical challenges. The Israelites, living in a harsh desert environment, would have been familiar with the idea of hardness in terms of both the land and life's trials. The term also reflects the spiritual condition of being resistant to God's will, a recurring theme in the Hebrew Scriptures.
