Strong's Lexicon Chilen: Chilion Original Word: חִילֵן Word Origin: Derived from the root חָלָה (chalal), meaning "to be weak" or "to be sick." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Chilion, as it is a specific Hebrew personal name. However, the Greek Septuagint transliterates it as Χελαιών (Chelaiōn). Usage: Chilion is a personal name found in the Hebrew Bible. It is traditionally understood to mean "pining" or "wasting away," reflecting a sense of frailty or weakness. Chilion is one of the two sons of Elimelech and Naomi, mentioned in the Book of Ruth. Cultural and Historical Background: Chilion lived during the time of the judges, a period characterized by social and religious upheaval in Israel. His family, originally from Bethlehem in Judah, migrated to Moab due to a famine. This move was significant as it involved leaving the Promised Land and settling among a foreign people with different customs and religious practices. The narrative of Chilion and his family highlights themes of displacement, survival, and the challenges of maintaining faith and identity in a foreign land.
