Part of Speech:Noun Feminine
Transliteration:qesheth
Pronunciation:KEH-sheth
Phonetic Spelling:(keh'-sheth)
Definition:Bow
Meaning:a bow, for, shooting, the iris

Word Origin:From the root קָשַׁת (qashat), meaning "to bend" or "to arch."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: -G5115 (toxon): Refers to a bow, used in the context of Revelation 6:2, describing the rider on the white horse.

Usage:The Hebrew word "qesheth" primarily refers to a bow, a weapon used for shooting arrows. It is often associated with warfare, hunting, and as a symbol of strength and power. In a broader sense, "qesheth" can also symbolize God's judgment or covenant, as seen in the rainbow after the flood.

Cultural and Historical Background:In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the bow was a crucial weapon for both hunting and warfare. It required skill and strength to use effectively. The bow was also a symbol of military power and prowess. In the biblical context, the bow is sometimes used metaphorically to describe God's might and His ability to execute judgment or deliverance.
