Strong's Lexicon mechabberah: Joining, binding, association Original Word: מְחַבְּרָה Word Origin: Derived from the root חָבַר (chabar), meaning "to join" or "to bind together." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and New Testament for similar concepts of joining or binding is "σύνδεσμος" (syndesmos - Strong's Greek 4886), which refers to a bond or that which binds together. Usage: The term "mechabberah" refers to the act or state of joining or binding together. It can denote a physical connection, such as binding materials, or a more abstract association, such as a fellowship or alliance. In the context of scripture, it often implies a purposeful and meaningful connection, whether among people, objects, or spiritual truths. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of binding or joining was significant in both social and religious contexts. Covenants, alliances, and community relationships were central to the societal structure. The idea of being bound together was not only practical but also spiritual, reflecting the unity and commitment expected within the community of God's people. This concept is evident in various aspects of life, from family and tribal connections to religious practices and covenants with God.
