Strong's Lexicon challamish: Flint, rock Original Word: חַלָּמִישׁ Word Origin: Derived from an unused root probably meaning to be hard Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "challamish" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew term. However, the concept of rock or stone can be related to Greek words like "πέτρα" (petra, Strong's G4073) meaning rock or stone. Usage: The Hebrew word "challamish" refers to a type of hard rock, specifically flint. In the biblical context, it is often used metaphorically to describe something that is hard, unyielding, or enduring. Flint was a common material in ancient times, used for making tools and weapons due to its ability to be chipped into sharp edges. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near East, flint was a valuable resource due to its durability and sharpness. It was used in various practical applications, including the creation of cutting tools and weapons. The hardness of flint made it a symbol of strength and resilience in biblical literature. The Israelites would have been familiar with flint as a material for practical use and as a metaphor for strength and endurance.
