Strong's Lexicon qippoz: Darting serpent, arrow-snake Original Word: קִפוֹז Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: qippowz Pronunciation: kip-POHZ Phonetic Spelling: (kip-poze') Definition: spring forward, an arrow-snake Meaning: The term "qippoz" refers to a creature known as the "arrow-snake," characterized by its swift, darting movements. Word Origin: Derived from the root קָפַז (qafaz), meaning "to spring forward" or "to leap." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for קִפוֹז (qippoz), as it is a specific Hebrew term with no exact Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament. However, the concept of desolation and wilderness is present in various Greek terms used in the New Testament to describe similar themes of judgment and abandonment. Usage: The word קִפוֹז appears in the Hebrew Bible in the context of describing desolate and uninhabited places, often symbolizing desolation and abandonment. Context: The term קִפוֹז (qippoz) is found in the book of Isaiah, specifically in Isaiah 34:15. In this passage, the prophet Isaiah describes the desolation that will come upon Edom as a result of divine judgment. The land is depicted as a haunt for various wild creatures, including the qippoz, which is translated as "arrow-snake" in some versions. The imagery of the qippoz, with its swift and darting movements, contributes to the overall picture of a land overtaken by wild and untamed nature, emphasizing the complete abandonment and ruin that will befall the area. The presence of such creatures in the prophetic vision underscores the severity of the judgment and the transformation of once-inhabited places into wilderness.
