Strong's Lexicon chobel: Pledge, surety, security Original Word: חֹבֵל Word Origin: Derived from the root חָבַל (chabal), which means "to bind" or "to pledge." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent concept can be found in terms like ἐγγύη (engyē), meaning "pledge" or "security," though there is no direct one-to-one correspondence in the Septuagint or New Testament. Usage: The term "chobel" refers to a pledge or security given as a guarantee for a debt or obligation. In the context of ancient Israelite society, it often involved the practice of giving a personal item or even a person as collateral to ensure the fulfillment of a promise or repayment of a loan. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, including Israel, the concept of pledges was a common legal practice. It was a way to secure loans or agreements, ensuring that the borrower would fulfill their obligations. The Law of Moses provided specific regulations regarding pledges to protect the rights and dignity of the debtor, such as prohibiting the taking of essential items like a millstone or a garment needed for warmth (Deuteronomy 24:6, 10-13).
