Berean Strong's Lexicon chach: Palate, roof of the mouth, taste Original Word: חַךְ Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be soft or pleasant Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1081 (geusis): Taste, the act of tasting - G1089 (geuomai): To taste, to experience Usage: The Hebrew word "chach" primarily refers to the palate or the roof of the mouth. It is often used metaphorically to denote taste or discernment, particularly in the context of experiencing or savoring something. In the Hebrew Bible, it can also imply the sense of taste as a faculty of discernment, both physically and spiritually. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the palate was considered not only a physical part of the body but also a metaphorical seat of taste and discernment. The ability to taste and discern was highly valued, as it was associated with wisdom and the ability to make sound judgments. The palate's role in speech and taste made it a symbol of communication and discernment.
