eminence, distinction, prominence (or 'lamentation' per versions)
A noun of uncertain meaning appearing in Ezekiel 7:11, part of a challenging prophetic text about coming judgment. The Masoretic Text reads 'no eminence is among them,' suggesting the loss of any distinction or notable quality. However, ancient versions (Septuagint, Theodotian, Symmachus) read this as 'lamentation,' leading many modern translations to follow that interpretation. The context describes total destruction sweeping away violence, crowd, wealth, and whatever נֹהַּ represents—whether that's prominence that distinguished them or mourning that honors them.

1. sense 1 — Possibly 'eminence' or 'distinction'—a quality that sets people apart, now absent in judgment. Ezekiel 7:11 declares 'no נֹהַּ among them,' meaning either no distinguished person remains or no prominence survives the catastrophe. The ancient versions preferred 'lamentation,' yielding 'no mourning for them,' which fits the context of total destruction. Spanish 'lamento' and French 'lamentation' follow this versional reading. The textual uncertainty reflects prophetic Hebrew at its most compressed and difficult. Whether eminence or lamentation, the point is privation: violence has bred violence, and judgment leaves nothing—neither distinction nor dignity, neither prominent persons nor proper mourning. 1×
