Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root חָנַף (ḥānap), which conveys the idea of being polluted or defiled.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Greek Number 167: ἀκαθαρσία (akatharsia) • often translated as "uncleanness" or "impurity," which parallels the concept of moral filth or defilement found in חֹנֶף. Usage: The word חֹנֶף (ḥōnep) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a condition of moral defilement or wickedness. It is often employed in contexts that highlight the contrast between righteousness and moral corruption. Context: חֹנֶף (ḥōnep) appears in the Hebrew Scriptures as a term that encapsulates the concept of moral impurity or wickedness. This term is rooted in the broader biblical theme of holiness versus defilement. In the prophetic literature, particularly in Isaiah, חֹנֶף is used to describe the moral and spiritual corruption of the people, often in the context of idolatry and social injustice. For example, in Isaiah 9:17 (BSB), the prophet laments the moral decay of the nation, highlighting the pervasive nature of wickedness: "Therefore the Lord takes no pleasure in the young men, nor does He have compassion on the fatherless and widows; for everyone is godless and an evildoer, and every mouth speaks folly. In all this, His anger is not turned away, yet His hand is still upraised."
