him, "That which is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbour. That is the whole Torah;
the rest is commentary. Go and study it".Hebrew/Ara
maic Greek/Latin Written in English
Homologeo The word ―confess‖. This is a compound word derived from homou (meaning "the same"
or "akin to") and logos. The term logos in its simplest meaning denotes "something said‖.
We know, however, that it also has to do with Divine Expression such as we see in
chapter 1 of John's Gospel, where Y‘shua is called the logos.
Hosheanu Hosanna is "save us".

Kfar Nahum Village of Nahum, known as Capernaum. The present name of the site, Talhum in Arabic
or less correctly Tell Hum, seemingly arises from its name in medieval Jewish
manuscripts, Kefar Tanhum, or simply Tanhum, for there is no real "tel" on the site. One
scholar proposed that the word "tell" may come from teloneion, the Greek word for
"customs house".
Khesed Loving-kindness, mercy or grace.
Khomer The Hebrew word for weightiest is khomerim, the plural of khomer (heavy, strict). The
first rule of Hillel is kol v‘khomer (light and heavy). This concept in Judaism recognises,
for example, that some mitzvot (commandments) hold greater weight than others. This is
important, because at times two commandments conflict and we must determine which
one has priority.
Kippur Derived from 'kaphar', which means to cover. And atonement' means to be 'at-one-
ment‘, when we are one with YHWH.

Koustodia Occurs as far back as the Oxyrhynchus Papyrus that is a reference in Latin for Roman

Kraspedon Known as ―hem" in the King James Bible. This is the same word that is used in the
Septuagint, the ancient Greek translation of the Hebrew Scriptures, to translate tzi·TZIT
(see below) (the singular of tzi·tzi·YOT). The same word used in Num 15:38 for ―border‖
are used in Mal 4:2 for ―wings‖. With this understanding in mind, an ancient Jew under
the prayer shawl could be said to be dwelling in the secret place of the Most High and
under His wings (Psalm 91:1-4). The Hebrew word for ―wings‖ used in this passage is
kanaph, which is a word that specifically means the fringe-like feathers or edges of a
bird's wing, not the whole wing. All of us have seen an eagle or hawk circling in the
summer sky and have seen these fringe-like feathers. This word, therefore, had two
meanings and could be translated wings, or tzitzit (see tzitzit).

Lashon Hara Or lashan hara – speaking "Evil Tongue‖ against a person – whether it‘s a true or a false

L'avdah The Hebrew word for "serve" transliterated into English. The word for "servant" in
Hebrew is from the root eved, which is the same root word for the verb "to serve‖.
