Strong's Lexicon choled: World, lifetime, duration Original Word: חֹלֶד Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to glide swiftly Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent that captures a similar concept of the world or age is Strong's Greek 165 (αἰών, aiōn), which can refer to an age, eternity, or the world system. Usage: The Hebrew word "choled" is used to denote the concept of the world or a lifetime, often implying the transient nature of human existence. It reflects the idea of life as a fleeting journey, emphasizing the brevity and impermanence of earthly life. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the understanding of life was deeply connected to the natural world and the divine order established by God. The term "choled" captures the essence of life as a temporary sojourn, a perspective that is consistent with the broader biblical narrative that views human life as a pilgrimage towards eternity. This understanding would have been particularly resonant in a culture that valued wisdom and the fear of the Lord as the beginning of understanding.
