Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the root חור (chur), which is associated with whiteness or purity.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: Strong's Greek Number 1039 • βύσσινος (bussinos): Refers to fine linen, often used in the New Testament to describe garments of high quality and purity, similar to the Hebrew חוֹר.
Strong's Greek Number 1040 • βύσσος (bussos): Another term for fine linen, emphasizing its luxurious and pure nature, used in contexts such as Revelation 19:8, where the fine linen represents the righteous acts of the saints.

Usage: The word חוֹר is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe fine white linen, a material commonly used for garments, especially those worn by priests and individuals of high status. It signifies purity and is often linked to ceremonial and religious attire.

Context: חוֹר (Chor) appears in the context of describing garments made of fine white linen. This fabric was highly valued in ancient Israel and was often used in the construction of priestly garments, as seen in Exodus 28:39, where it is mentioned in the context of the priestly attire: "Weave the tunic of fine linen, and make the turban of fine linen, and the sash of embroidered work." The use of white linen in the tabernacle and temple services underscores its association with holiness and divine service. The purity and brightness of white linen symbolize righteousness and the unblemished nature required for those serving in the presence of God. Additionally, in Esther 8:15, Mordecai is described as wearing a garment of fine linen, indicating his elevated status and honor: "Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in royal apparel of blue and white, with a large crown of gold and a garment of fine linen and purple."
