Strong's Lexicon chatuboth: Inscriptions, engravings Original Word: חֲטֻבָה Word Origin: Derived from the root חָתַב (chathab), meaning "to engrave" or "to inscribe." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "chatuboth," the concept of inscriptions can be related to Greek terms like "γράμμα" (gramma, G1121), meaning "letter" or "writing," and "ἐπιγραφή" (epigraphe, G1923), meaning "inscription." Usage: The term "chatuboth" refers to inscriptions or engravings, often used in the context of writing that is carved or etched into a surface. This could include inscriptions on stone tablets, monuments, or other durable materials. The word emphasizes the permanence and significance of the written message. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, inscriptions were a common method of recording important information, laws, or decrees. Stone tablets and monuments served as lasting records, often placed in public spaces for communal awareness. The act of engraving was a skilled craft, reflecting the importance of the message being inscribed. Inscriptions were not only practical but also held religious and cultural significance, often used to commemorate events or convey divine commandments.
