Berean Strong's Lexicon chad: Sharp, one Original Word: חַד Word Origin: Derived from a root word meaning "to be sharp" or "to be keen." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts might include words like "ὀξύς" (oxys), meaning sharp, or "εἷς" (heis), meaning one. Usage: In the Hebrew Bible, "chad" primarily conveys the idea of sharpness, often in a literal sense, such as a sharp sword or tool. It can also imply singularity or unity, as in the concept of being one or unique. The term is used to describe something that is distinct or stands out due to its sharpness or singularity. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, sharpness was a valued quality, especially in tools and weapons, which were essential for survival and defense. The concept of unity or oneness also held significant theological importance, reflecting the monotheistic belief in one God. The Hebrew language often uses concrete imagery, such as sharpness, to convey abstract ideas like unity or distinctiveness.
