Usage: The verb קָדַר (qāḏar) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a state of becoming dark or gloomy, often associated with mourning or sorrow. It conveys the imagery of a darkened appearance, either literally or metaphorically, as a reflection of inner grief or lamentation. Context: • The root קָדַר (qāḏar) appears in various contexts within the Hebrew Scriptures, often linked to expressions of mourning or distress. The term can describe the physical appearance of individuals who are in mourning, as their countenance becomes darkened or ashen, reflecting their inner sorrow. This imagery is used to convey the depth of emotional turmoil and the visible impact of grief. • In the poetic and prophetic literature, קָדַר (qāḏar) is employed to depict the somber atmosphere of lamentation, where the natural world or the heavens themselves are described as darkening in response to human suffering or divine judgment. This usage underscores the profound connection between human emotions and the created order in biblical thought. • The term is also used metaphorically to describe the fading or dimming of joy and prosperity, as in times of national calamity or personal loss. The darkening of the sun or the sky serves as a powerful symbol of the loss of divine favor or the onset of judgment. • Notable occurrences of קָדַר (qāḏar) include its use in Job 5:11, where it describes the lowering of those who mourn, and in Jeremiah 4:28, where the heavens are described as darkened due to the Lord's pronouncement of judgment.
