Strong's Lexicon Chaqupha: Circuit, cycle, revolution Original Word: חֲקוּפָא Word Origin: Derived from the root חָקַף (chaqaph), meaning "to go around" or "to encompass." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent concept can be found in terms like κύκλος (kyklos - G2945), meaning "circle" or "cycle," which also conveys the idea of a recurring period or circuit. Usage: The term "Chaqupha" refers to a cycle or a complete circuit, often used in the context of time or seasons. It implies a recurring period or a full circle, emphasizing the cyclical nature of certain events or phenomena. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, understanding the cycles of time was crucial for agricultural and religious practices. The Israelites observed various feasts and Sabbaths based on lunar and solar cycles. The concept of a "chaqupha" would have been integral to their calendar system, marking the passage of time and the repetition of seasons, which were essential for planting, harvesting, and worship.
