Ez 16:14; הֲדָרְךָ ψ 45:5; 90:16; הֲדָרֶ֑ךָ ψ 45:4; הֲדָרֵךְ Ez 27:10; הֲדָרָהּ Is 5:14 La 1:6; pl. cstr. הַדְרֵי ψ 110:3 (but read prob. הררי so Symm Jer edd.; Ol Hup Gr Bi Che);— ornament Pr 20:29 (grey hair, for old men; ‖ תִּפְאֶרֶת), Ez 16:14 (fig. of ornaments of Jerus. as bride of י׳); פְּרִי עֵץ הָדָר Lv 23:40 (H) i.e. fruit of goodly (ornamental, beautiful) trees, so AV RV \& most, or goodly tree-fruit, 𝔊 καρπὸν ξύλου ὡραῖον, so Di;—here would come also בהדרי קדשׁ ψ 110:3, ref. to sacred, festal garments, according to Thes al. cf. RVm; but read prob. on the holy mountains, vid. supr. splendour, majesty Dt 33:17 of Ephraim under figure of a noble bull (cf. Di); of Jerusalem Is 5:14 cf. La 1:6; of Carmel Is 35:2 (‖ כָּבוֹד); of majesty \& dignity conferred by י׳ on man ψ 8:6 (‖ כָּבוֹד), on king 21:6 (‖ id., הוֹד), cf. 45:4 (‖ הוֹד) \& v 5 (but text perhaps erron.

Mi 2:9 of י׳’s glory as possession of his people, lost by exile \& slavery: but perhaps textual error; HoffmZAW 182, 103 proposes הַדְּרוֹר, from their children ye take freedom (yet מֵעַל then hardly suitable).
