Context: • The Hebrew word קֹטֶן (qōṭen) appears in the context of describing the smallest finger on the hand, commonly referred to as the "little finger." This term is used metaphorically in the Bible to illustrate concepts of smallness or insignificance. In 1 Kings 12:10 and 2 Chronicles 10:10, the term is used in a figurative sense to convey the idea of a burden or yoke being made heavier, as the young men advise Rehoboam to say, "My little finger is thicker than my father’s waist." This expression emphasizes the intention to increase the demands or expectations placed upon the people, highlighting the contrast between the perceived strength or authority of Rehoboam compared to his father, Solomon.
