Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

כֹּפֶר m.

(1) i.q. כָּפָר a village, hamlet, 1 Samuel 6:18.

(2) pitch, so called from its being overspread, or overlaid; compare the root No. 2, Genesis 6:14. (Aram. ܟܘܽܦܪܐ and Arab. كَفْرُ id.)

(3) cypress, Gr. κύπρος, a shrub, or small tree, with whitish odoriferous flowers, growing in clusters; Arab. حِنَّاءُ, حِنَّأَةُ Lawsonia inermis, Linn., so called in Hebrew, as has been well suggested by Joh. Simonis, from a powder being made of its leaves with which, when mixed with water, women in the East smear over their nails, so as to make them of a red colour for the sake of ornament; Song of Solomon 1:14, אֶשְׁכֹּל הַכֹּפֶר a bunch of cypress; pl. כְּפָרִים Song of Solomon 4:13 compare O. Celsii Hierobot. t. i. p. 222; Oedmann, Verm. Sammlungen aus der Naturkunde, fasc. i. cap. 7.

(4) λύτρον, price of expiation, or redemption; Exodus 21:30, 30:12, כֹּפֶר נַפְשׁוֹ “the redemption-price of his life;” Isaiah 43:3, כָּפְרְךָ “the price at which thou wast redeemed.”
