Strong's Lexicon chrós: Skin, complexion Original Word: χρώς Word Origin: Derived from the Greek root word χρώμα (chrōma), meaning "color" or "complexion." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with skin is עוֹר (or, Strong's Hebrew 5785), which also refers to the skin or hide of a person or animal. Usage: In the New Testament, the term "chrós" is used to refer to the skin or outer surface of the body. It is a term that denotes the physical aspect of a person, particularly focusing on the visible and tangible layer that covers the body. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the concept of "chrós" was often associated with beauty, health, and identity. The complexion or appearance of one's skin could signify various social and cultural meanings, including status, ethnicity, and personal well-being. In the biblical context, skin was also a significant aspect of ritual purity and health, as seen in the laws concerning leprosy and other skin conditions in the Old Testament.
