Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition
כֹּמֶר only in pl. כְּמָרִים idolatrous priests, 2 Kings 23:5; Hosea 10:5; Zephaniah 1:4. Syr. ܟܘܽܡܪܐܳ used of any priest whatever; but Syriac words relating to divine worship are in Hebrew restricted to the worship of idols; see Gesch. der Heb. Sprache, p. 58. If the etymology of this word be inquired for, כֹּמֶר, ܟܘܽܡܪܐܳ is prop. blackness, sadness, and as a concrete, one who goes about in black attire, mourning; hence, an ascetic, a priest. Compare أَبِيلُ, ܙܰܒܺܝܠܳ sad, mournful; hence, an ascetic, a monk, an ecclesiastic. See my Comment. on Isaiah 22:12, 38:15.
