is a frequent rendering of the Hebrew כִּ, kaph, properly something curved or hollow, and hence the interior of the hand. It is used as a general word for the hand, both in literal and figurative expressions, e.g. Ezra 21:16; 1 Samuel 4:3, as well as for the palms only, as Leviticus 18:26; Daniel 10:10. It is also applied, like the Latin palma, to the branches of the palm-tree, from their curved form; as Leviticus 23:40. But the palm-tree is denoted in Hebrew by the word tamar, תָּמָר, from a root meaning to stand erect (Joel 1:12; Song of Solomon 7:9; Exodus 15:27), and by the word תֹּמֶר, tomer, from the same root. (See HAND); (See PALM-TREE).
