H3520a H3520a
Glorious, honorable; feminine adjective describing a bed (Ezek 23:41) and a queen (Ps 45:13)
This feminine adjective denotes something glorious or splendid, appearing in two poetic contexts. In Psalm 45:13 it describes the princess in her chamber, arrayed in glory for her wedding. In Ezekiel 23:41 it describes the bed on which unfaithful Jerusalem reclines in her idolatrous luxury. The word's vocalization (kevuddah) shows the construct form pattern, and its root connection to "glory" (kavod) links external splendor with inherent worth or honor.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Attested in Psalm 45:13 (royal wedding psalm) and Ezekiel 23:41 (prophetic accusation). The contexts are ironically opposite: one celebrates legitimate royal splendor, the other condemns false glory in spiritual adultery. Spanish renders both as "gloriosa/glorioso," while French and German preserve Hebrew forms, acknowledging the specialized vocabulary of these poetic and prophetic passages. 2×
