Strong's Lexicon chasaph: To strip, peel, make bare Original Word: חֲסַף Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of revealing or uncovering can be related to Greek terms such as "apokalypto" (Strong's Greek 601), which means to uncover or reveal. Usage: The Hebrew verb "chasaph" primarily means to strip or peel away, often used in the context of making something bare or exposing it. This term can be applied both literally, as in the peeling of bark from a tree, and metaphorically, in the sense of revealing or uncovering something hidden. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the act of stripping or making bare could symbolize vulnerability or exposure. This concept is often used in the Bible to describe God's judgment or the revealing of truth. The agricultural society of ancient Israel would have been familiar with the literal act of peeling or stripping, whether in the context of preparing food or processing materials.
