Berean Strong's Lexicon chophshi: Free, liberty Original Word: חָפְשִׁי Word Origin: Derived from the root חָפַשׁ (chaphash), meaning "to be free" or "to set free." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - 1658 (eleutheros): Free, not a slave - 1659 (eleutheroo): To set free, liberate Usage: The Hebrew word "chophshi" primarily denotes the state of being free or at liberty. It is used in the context of freedom from servitude or bondage, often referring to a servant or slave who has been set free. The term can also imply a broader sense of liberty, including freedom from oppression or obligation. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of freedom was deeply embedded in the social and religious fabric. The Law of Moses provided specific regulations for the treatment of slaves and their eventual release, reflecting a divine concern for justice and human dignity. The Year of Jubilee, as described in Leviticus 25, was a time when slaves were to be set free, debts forgiven, and land returned to its original owners, symbolizing God's desire for restoration and freedom for His people.
