Strong's Lexicon chol: sand Original Word: חֹל Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be loose or sand-like Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G285: ammos (ἄμμος) - sand - G5561: chōra (χώρα) - land, region, which can imply vastness similar to sand Usage: The Hebrew word "chol" primarily refers to sand, often used metaphorically in the Bible to denote vastness, multitude, or innumerability. It is frequently employed to describe the descendants of Abraham, emphasizing the fulfillment of God's promise to make his offspring as numerous as the sand on the seashore. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, sand was a common and familiar element of the landscape, especially in desert regions. It symbolized both the vastness of God's creation and the innumerable nature of His blessings. The imagery of sand was particularly powerful in a culture that valued large families and saw them as a sign of divine favor.
