Crown of the head, the topmost part of the skull, often in blessings and curses
Designates the very top of the head — the spot where blessings descend and afflictions strike. Jacob's blessing pronounces favor on the 'crown of the head' of Joseph, the one set apart among his brothers (Gen 49:26; cf. Deut 33:16). Conversely, Deuteronomy 28:35 warns of boils from sole to crown. The word carries an almost royal overtone: the highest point of the human body becomes a symbol of dignity or vulnerability. Spanish 'coronilla' preserves this diminutive-crown imagery.
Senses
1. crown of the head — The anatomical crown or vertex of the skull, the topmost point of the head. Frequently appears in poetic parallelism with 'head' (ro'sh), especially in blessings where favor rests on the crown (Gen 49:26; Deut 33:16) and in curses where affliction covers from foot to crown (Deut 28:35). Spanish 'coronilla' (little crown) aptly mirrors the Hebrew sense of the head's summit as a site of honor or exposure. 11×
