ha.dar describes honoring or being held in honor, including prohibited favoritism and self-exaltation.

The attested uses chiefly concern giving, receiving, or claiming honor: legal instructions forbid favoring either the poor or the great, an elder is to receive honor, and self-honoring before a king is forbidden. A rarer noun form occurs in the description of elevated places that are leveled.

   In Exodus 23:3, the Qal imperfect forbids honoring a poor person in a dispute; Leviticus 19:15 similarly places the form in instructions against partiality toward the poor or deference to the great. Leviticus 19:32 commands honor toward an old man, while Isaiah 63:1 describes one honored in clothing; Lamentations 5:12 states that elders receive no honor, and Proverbs 25:6 forbids self-honoring before the king.

2. Elevated places · rare

   In Isaiah 45:2, the masculine plural noun occurs in the clause about places that God will level; the APB renders the clause, "I go before you and level the exalted places."

   Isaiah 45:2

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses "honor" in Exodus 23:3, Leviticus 19:32, Isaiah 63:1, and Lamentations 5:12, while it renders the legal and self-directed contexts with "show partiality," "defer," and "honor yourself." In Isaiah 45:2 it renders the noun context as "exalted places"; these are verse-level renderings rather than definitions.
