Strong's Lexicon chatab: To hew, cut, or chop Original Word: חַָטַב Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "chatab," the concept of cutting or hewing can be related to Greek terms like "κόπτω" (koptō), meaning to cut or strike. Usage: The Hebrew verb "chatab" primarily means to hew, cut, or chop, often in the context of cutting wood or stone. It conveys the action of shaping or preparing materials through cutting. This term is used in the Bible to describe the physical act of cutting down trees or preparing wood for various purposes, such as building or making fire. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, wood was a crucial resource for daily life, used for construction, fuel, and tools. The act of cutting wood was labor-intensive and required skill, often performed by specialized workers or laborers. The imagery of hewing wood is sometimes used metaphorically in the Bible to describe preparation or judgment.
