Strong's Lexicon Chabaqquq: Habakkuk Original Word: חֲבַקּוּק Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root חבק (chabaq), meaning "to embrace" or "to clasp." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5752 (Habakkouk): The Greek transliteration of Habakkuk, used in the Septuagint and New Testament references. Usage: The name "Habakkuk" is traditionally understood to mean "embrace" or "one who embraces." It is used as a proper noun to refer to the prophet Habakkuk, who is the author of the Book of Habakkuk in the Old Testament. The name may imply a sense of comfort or support, as one who embraces another. Cultural and Historical Background: Habakkuk was a prophet in the Kingdom of Judah, likely during the late 7th century BC, a time of great turmoil and impending judgment. The Assyrian Empire was declining, and the Babylonian Empire was rising to power. Habakkuk's ministry occurred during a period of moral and spiritual decline in Judah, and his prophecies address the coming Babylonian invasion and the justice of God. The Book of Habakkuk is unique in its format, as it is structured as a dialogue between the prophet and God, reflecting Habakkuk's deep wrestling with the problem of evil and divine justice.
