Strong's Lexicon chitson: Outer, external, outward Original Word: חִיצוֹן Word Origin: Derived from the root חוּץ (chuts), meaning "outside" or "outer." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1855 (exō): Meaning "outside" or "outer," used in the New Testament to describe external locations or conditions. Usage: The Hebrew word "chitson" is used to describe something that is external or on the outside. It often refers to the outer parts of a structure or the external aspects of a situation. In the context of the Bible, it can describe physical locations, such as the outer court of the temple, or metaphorical concepts, such as outward appearances. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of "outer" or "external" was significant in both religious and social contexts. The temple, for example, had distinct areas, including the outer court, which was accessible to more people compared to the inner sanctum. This distinction between outer and inner spaces often symbolized levels of holiness and access to God. Socially, outward appearances could be contrasted with inner character, a theme explored in various biblical texts.
