Strong's Lexicon chabereth: Company, association, band Original Word: חֲבֶרֶת Word Origin: Derived from the root חָבַר (chabar), meaning "to join" or "to bind together." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent that captures a similar sense of fellowship or association is κοινωνία (koinonia), Strong's Greek #2842, which is often translated as "fellowship" or "communion" in the New Testament. Usage: The term "chabereth" refers to a group or assembly of people who are joined together for a common purpose. It often implies a sense of fellowship or companionship among the members of the group. In the biblical context, it can denote a gathering of people, whether for social, religious, or military purposes. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, community and fellowship were central to daily life. The concept of "chabereth" reflects the importance of collective identity and mutual support within the society. Whether in religious gatherings, family units, or military alliances, the idea of being part of a "chabereth" underscored the interconnectedness of individuals within the community. This was particularly significant in a culture that valued kinship and communal responsibility. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfem. of chaber Definition consort NASB Translation companion (1).
