Strong's Lexicon charuz: Bead, Jewel Original Word: חָרוּז Word Origin: Derived from the root חָרַז (charaz), meaning "to string together" or "to arrange." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "charuz," the concept of jewels and adornment can be related to Greek terms such as μαργαρίτης (margaritēs, Strong's G3135), meaning "pearl," and κόσμος (kosmos, Strong's G2889), which can mean "adornment" or "order." Usage: The term "charuz" refers to a bead or jewel, often used in the context of adornment or decoration. It implies something of value that is strung together, much like pearls on a necklace. In the biblical context, it can symbolize beauty, wealth, or the meticulous arrangement of precious items. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, jewelry and adornments were significant indicators of wealth and status. Beads and jewels were not only decorative but also held cultural and sometimes religious significance. They were often used in trade and could be passed down as family heirlooms. The use of such items in biblical times reflects the broader cultural practices of the surrounding nations, where personal adornment was a common expression of identity and social standing.
