הָדַר
(1) pr. like the cognate אָדַר, to be large, swollen, tumid, and trans. to make tumid. (Arab. أَهْدَرُ tumid, حدر to become tumid.) Part. pass. הָדוּר swollen, tumid. Isaiah 45:2, הֲדוּרִים אֲיַשֵּׁר “I will level the tumid (lofty) places.” LXX. ὄρη, but perhaps they read הררים. (Tumidos montes occurs in Ovid. Amor. ii. 16:51.)
It is applied
(2) to pride [rather, to splendour], Isaiah 63:1, הָדוּר בִּלְבוּשֹׁו “swollen (i.e. proud) in his apparel,” fich brüftend in feinem Gewande. [But see the context; Christ is the person spoken of.]
(3) to ornament, (the more costly Oriental garments being very large); hence to decorate, to adorn (pr. used of the adorning of garments, see הָדָר ), to honour, constr. with an acc. Exodus 23:3 followed by פְּנֵי פ׳ to honour any one’s countenance, Leviticus 19:32 used for to favour any one, rashly to take his part (in judgment), like נָשָׂא פָנִים Exodus 23:3; Leviticus 19:15.
Niphal, pret. pl. in pause נֶהְדָּֽרוּ were honoured, Lamentations 5:12 (compare Kal No. 3).
Hithpael, to act proudly, to boast, Proverbs 25:6.
