Usage

In the Hebrew Bible, "Kesil" is used to describe a person who is foolish, lacking wisdom, or acting in a way that is contrary to sound judgment. It often conveys a sense of moral and spiritual deficiency, rather than just intellectual shortcomings. The term is frequently used in wisdom literature, such as Proverbs and Ecclesiastes, to contrast the wise and the foolish.
