Strong's Lexicon chamushim: Armed, equipped Original Word: חָמֻשׁ Part of Speech: Adjective Transliteration: chamush Pronunciation: khah-moo-sheem Phonetic Spelling: (khaw-moosh') Definition: Armed, equipped Meaning: staunch, able-bodied soldiers Word Origin: Derived from the root חָמֵשׁ (chamesh), meaning "five." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of being armed or prepared can be related to Greek terms such as ὁπλίζω (hoplizo - G3695), meaning "to arm" or "to equip." Usage: The term "chamushim" is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a state of being armed or equipped, particularly in a military context. It conveys the idea of being prepared for battle or journey, often implying readiness and organization. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, being "chamushim" was crucial for survival and success in both military campaigns and significant migrations. The Israelites, during their exodus from Egypt, needed to be organized and prepared for potential conflicts as they journeyed through hostile territories. The term reflects the importance of readiness and strategic planning in ancient warfare and travel.
