Berean Strong's Lexicon chut: Thread, cord, line Original Word: חוּט Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to sew Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the concept of a thread or cord can be related to Greek words like "σχοινίον" (schoinion - G4979), meaning a rope or cord. Usage: The Hebrew word "chut" primarily refers to a thread or cord. It is used in the context of something that binds or connects, often in a literal sense as a physical thread or cord. The term can also imply a measure of length or a means of connection. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, threads and cords were essential for daily life, used in weaving, sewing, and construction. They symbolized connection and continuity, both physically and metaphorically. Threads were also used in religious contexts, such as the making of priestly garments and the construction of the Tabernacle.
