Strong's Lexicon chammuq: Curves Original Word: חַמּוּק Word Origin: Derived from the root חָמַק (chamaq), which means "to curve" or "to bend." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance that matches the specific nuance of "chammuq." However, Greek words related to beauty and form, such as κάλλος (kallos, Strong's 2570, meaning "beauty"), may capture similar themes in the New Testament context. Usage: The term "chammuq" is used to describe the graceful curves or rounded contours of the human body, often in a poetic or metaphorical sense. It conveys a sense of beauty and elegance, typically in the context of romantic admiration. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, physical beauty was often celebrated in poetry and song, particularly in the context of love and marriage. The Song of Solomon, where "chammuq" is found, is a prime example of this tradition. This book is a collection of lyrical poems that express the beauty and passion of romantic love, often using vivid and sensuous imagery. The appreciation of physical form was not merely aesthetic but also symbolic of deeper relational and spiritual truths.
