Strong's Lexicon chammah: Sun Original Word: חַמָּה Word Origin: Derived from the root חָמַם (chamam), meaning "to be hot" or "to warm." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2246 (ἥλιος, hēlios): The Greek equivalent for "sun," used in the New Testament. Usage: The Hebrew word "chammah" primarily refers to the sun, the great luminary of the day. It is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote the physical sun, often highlighting its brightness, heat, and role in the natural order established by God. The sun is a symbol of God's provision and the regularity of His creation. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the sun was often revered and sometimes deified. However, in the Hebrew Scriptures, while the sun is acknowledged for its importance and power, it is never worshipped. Instead, it is seen as part of God's creation, serving His purposes. The sun's daily rising and setting are a testament to God's faithfulness and the order He has established in the universe.
