Two Kinds of Fools

Photo by Will Montague

The Bull-Headed Fool

One of the two Hebrew words for fool is the word evil, which is spelled just like our word "evil" but is pronounced ev-eel'. The root for this word means weak minded, but it also carries the idea of being strong willed and determined.

The Pig-Headed Fool

The other Hebrew word for fool is chesil, pronounced kes-eel'. It's root meaning is fat. It implies one who is mentally fat, not in the sense that he if full of intelligence but that he is dull, inert, and sluggish. This person's character, not necessarily his outward appearance, is a big blob. He is a lazy, spoiled, and inactive fool.
