Strong's Lexicon chartsubbah: Band, bond, fetter Original Word: חַרְצֻבָּה Word Origin: Derived from the root חָרַץ (charats), meaning "to cut" or "to sharpen." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is δεσμός (desmos), which also means bond or chain. This term appears in the New Testament, such as in Acts 16:26, where the prison doors are opened, and everyone's chains are loosed. Usage: The term "chartsubbah" refers to a physical or metaphorical band or bond, often used to describe something that binds or restricts. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it can denote literal fetters or chains used for binding prisoners or captives. It can also be used metaphorically to describe spiritual or emotional bonds. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, physical bonds such as fetters were commonly used to restrain prisoners or captives. These bonds were often made of metal or strong materials and symbolized control and subjugation. Metaphorically, the concept of being bound or fettered was also used to describe spiritual or moral captivity, reflecting the belief that sin or disobedience could lead to a form of spiritual bondage.
