Strong's Lexicon chakliluth: Dullness, darkness, redness Original Word: חַכְלִלוּת Word Origin: Derived from the root חָכַל (chakal), which means to be dark or to grow dark. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the concept of deep or rich color can be related to Greek words describing vividness or intensity, such as πυρρός (pyrros, G4450), meaning fiery or red. Usage: The term "chakliluth" is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a deep, dark color, often associated with the eyes or wine. It conveys a sense of richness and depth, sometimes interpreted as a reddish or dark hue. The word is used to describe the eyes in a poetic and metaphorical sense, indicating vitality, health, or intensity. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, colors and their descriptions often carried symbolic meanings. The use of "chakliluth" in describing eyes or wine suggests a connection to life, vigor, and abundance. Wine, a staple in ancient Near Eastern societies, was often associated with joy and celebration, and its deep color was a symbol of its quality and potency. Similarly, eyes described with "chakliluth" might imply a penetrating gaze or a lively spirit.
