Strong's Lexicon Chelqi: Portion, share, inheritance Original Word: חֶלְקִי Word Origin: Derived from the root חָלַק (chalak), meaning "to divide" or "to apportion." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2819 (κλῆρος, kleros): Often translated as "lot" or "portion," used in the New Testament to describe an inheritance or share. - G3311 (μερίς, meris): Meaning "part" or "portion," used to describe a share or division. Usage: The term "Chelqi" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a portion or share, often in the context of inheritance or an allotted share of land. It can also metaphorically refer to one's lot in life or spiritual inheritance, emphasizing the idea of what is divinely apportioned to an individual. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, land inheritance was a crucial aspect of family and tribal identity. The division of land among the tribes of Israel was seen as a fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham. Each tribe, and within it each family, received a portion of land that was to be passed down through generations. This concept of a "portion" extended beyond physical land to include one's role, responsibilities, and blessings in life, often seen as divinely ordained.
