Berean Strong's Lexicon Cheled: World, life, lifetime Original Word: חֶלֶד Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to glide swiftly Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G165 (αἰών, aiōn) – often translated as "age" or "world," referring to a period or duration of time. - G2889 (κόσμος, kosmos) – often translated as "world," referring to the world system or universe. Usage: The Hebrew word "Cheled" primarily refers to the concept of the world or the temporal life of humans. It conveys the idea of the fleeting, transient nature of human existence on earth. In the biblical context, it often emphasizes the brevity and impermanence of life, contrasting the eternal nature of God with the temporal nature of human life. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, life was often viewed in the context of its temporary nature. The brevity of life was a common theme in wisdom literature, where the focus was on living righteously and wisely within the limited time allotted to each person. The concept of "Cheled" reflects the understanding that life on earth is a temporary journey, and it encourages a focus on spiritual and eternal matters.
