- This entry carries no independently attested honor/respect sense distinct from its core majesty/splendor sense; the domain is bundle-shared. הוֹד denotes majesty or splendor, as at 1 Chronicles 16:27 — "Splendor and majesty are before Him" — and 1 Chronicles 29:11 — "the greatness, the power, the glory... and the majesty."
