Berean Strong's Lexicon keseth: Pillow, cushion Original Word: כֶּסֶת Part of Speech: Noun Feminine Transliteration: keseth Pronunciation: keh'-seth Phonetic Spelling: (keh'-seth) Definition: Pillow, cushion Meaning: a cushion, pillow Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "keseth" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as the concept of a pillow or cushion is more culturally specific to the Hebrew context. However, the Greek word "προσκεφάλαιον" (proskephalaion, Strong's G4344) can be considered a functional equivalent, referring to a headrest or pillow. Usage: The Hebrew word "keseth" refers to a pillow or cushion, typically used for comfort or support while reclining or sleeping. It is a tangible object that provides physical rest and ease. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, including Israel, pillows were not as common as they are today. They were often made from materials like cloth stuffed with wool, feathers, or other soft materials. Pillows were considered a luxury item, indicating a level of comfort and wealth. In biblical times, the use of a pillow could symbolize rest, relaxation, and sometimes complacency.
