Strong's Lexicon chadar: To surround, enclose, penetrate Original Word: חָדַר Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent that captures a similar concept of surrounding or enclosing might be found in words like "περιβάλλω" (periballō), which means to surround or to clothe. Usage: The Hebrew verb "chadar" primarily conveys the action of surrounding or enclosing something. It can also imply penetrating or entering into a space. This term is often used in contexts that describe physical enclosures or the act of entering into a hidden or secret place. The usage of "chadar" can extend metaphorically to describe the act of penetrating or understanding deeper truths or mysteries. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of enclosing or surrounding was significant in both physical and spiritual contexts. Physically, it could refer to the construction of protective barriers or the act of entering into a secure or private space, such as a tent or a chamber. Spiritually, it could symbolize entering into a deeper relationship with God or understanding His mysteries. The idea of God surrounding His people with protection is a recurring theme in the Hebrew Scriptures.
