Strong's Lexicon cchiy: Filth, refuse Original Word: סְחִי Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to sweep away or scrape off. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of filth or refuse can be related to Greek terms such as "ῥύπος" (rhypos - G4509), meaning filth or dirt, used in a moral or ceremonial context. Usage: The Hebrew word "סְחִי" (cchiy) is used to denote filth or refuse, often in a metaphorical sense to describe something that is considered worthless or detestable. It conveys a strong sense of impurity and is used to illustrate moral or spiritual corruption. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, cleanliness was not only a physical concern but also a spiritual one. The Law of Moses contained numerous regulations regarding cleanliness, both to prevent disease and to symbolize spiritual purity. Filth, therefore, was not just a physical state but also a representation of moral and spiritual defilement. The use of "cchiy" in the Hebrew Bible often underscores the need for purification and repentance. Brown-Driver-Briggs סְחִי noun [masculine] offcouring; — וּמָאוֺס תְּשִׂימֵנוּ ׳ס Lamentations 3:45.
