Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be dry.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for חָשַׁשׁ in the Strong's Greek Concordance. However, similar imagery of transience and destruction can be found in Greek terms related to grass or stubble, such as χόρτος (G5528) for grass or straw, which is used in the New Testament to convey similar themes of impermanence and judgment. Usage: The term חָשַׁשׁ is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to dry grass or stubble, often symbolizing something that is transient, insubstantial, or easily consumed. Context: The Hebrew word חָשַׁשׁ (chashash) appears in the context of describing dry grass or stubble, which is often used metaphorically in the Scriptures to illustrate the fleeting nature of life or the ease with which something can be destroyed. This imagery is particularly vivid in the arid landscapes of the ancient Near East, where dry grass and stubble are common and easily set ablaze. The term is used to convey the idea of impermanence and vulnerability, as dry grass is quickly consumed by fire or swept away by the wind. In the Berean Standard Bible, this imagery is captured in passages that emphasize the frailty of human endeavors or the swift judgment of God.
