Strong's Lexicon Chelqath: Helkath Original Word: חֶלְקַת Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root חֶלְקָה (cheleq), meaning "portion" or "parcel of land." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Chelqath, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, the concept of land or portion can be related to Greek terms like κλῆρος (klēros), meaning "lot" or "inheritance." Usage: Chelqath refers to a specific location mentioned in the Old Testament. It is identified as a place in the territory of Asher, one of the tribes of Israel. The term is used to denote a geographical area or a portion of land. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of ancient Israel, land was a significant aspect of tribal identity and inheritance. Each tribe was allocated specific territories in the Promised Land, which were further divided among families. The land was not only a source of sustenance but also a symbol of God's promise and faithfulness to His people. Chelqath, as part of Asher's inheritance, would have been a place of agricultural and strategic importance.
