Strong's Lexicon Chul: To twist, whirl, dance, writhe, travail, be in anguish, be pained Original Word: חוּל Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5604 (ōdinō): To be in travail, to suffer birth pangs - G3600 (odunō): To cause intense pain, to be in anguish Usage: The Hebrew verb "Chul" encompasses a range of meanings related to physical movement and emotional states. It can describe the act of twisting or whirling, often in the context of dancing or physical movement. Additionally, it conveys the idea of writhing or being in labor, reflecting intense emotional or physical pain. This verb is used metaphorically to describe states of distress, anguish, or turmoil, both in a physical and spiritual sense. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, physical expressions such as dancing and writhing were often associated with religious and communal activities. Dancing was a form of celebration and worship, while writhing and travailing were connected to childbirth and expressions of deep emotional or spiritual experiences. The use of "Chul" in the Hebrew Bible reflects these cultural practices and the broader human experience of joy, pain, and spiritual struggle.
