hoí†d (d/h, 1935), “splendour; majesty, authority. A possible cognate of this word appears in Arabic. Of the 24 times this term is found, 20 have to do with poetry. The basic meaning of “splendor and majesty,” with its allusions to power and superior position, is manifested by the way it is applied to kings: “Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah : They will not regret it by saying: “Ay, my brother!” and “Oh, my sister!” Nor will they regret it by saying: “Ay, sir!” and “Woe to his splendor!” (Jer 22:18 rva). The same meaning stands out for God: “From the north comes a golden splendor; around God there is an awesome majesty” (Job 37:22 rva). In many cases, hoí†d focuses on the meaning of “dignity” and “splendour” with nuances of power and superior position, but not to the extreme to which the Eastern kings took it: “And you will put part of your dignity on him so that he let all the congregation of the children of Israel obey him” (Num 27:20 lba: first mention of the word). To speak of the “splendor” and “dignity” of the olive tree, the most desired and desirable among trees, hoí†d is used (Hos 14:6; cf. Jdg 9:9-15). The proud carriage of the war steed and its apparent valor in battle prompt God to say, “The snorting of his nostrils is fearful” (Job 39:20 rva). Every time the term is used it is to describe a feeling of wonder and satisfaction on the part of the viewer.
