Strong's Lexicon choneph: To be profane, to be polluted, to be corrupt Original Word: חֹנֶף Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: choneph Pronunciation: khaw-nef' Phonetic Spelling: (kho'-nef) Definition: To be profane, to be polluted, to be corrupt Meaning: moral filth, wickedness Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence in the Greek New Testament, concepts related to moral and spiritual corruption can be found in words like "ἀκαθαρσία" (akatharsia - impurity) and "βέβηλος" (bebelos - profane). Usage: The Hebrew verb "choneph" primarily conveys the idea of moral and spiritual corruption or pollution. It is used to describe actions or behaviors that deviate from the holiness and purity expected by God. This term often implies a turning away from divine standards, leading to a state of defilement or impurity. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Hebrew context, purity and holiness were central to the covenant relationship between God and His people. The concept of being "profane" or "corrupt" was not merely about ritual impurity but also encompassed ethical and moral dimensions. The Israelites were called to be a holy nation, distinct from surrounding cultures, and any form of corruption was seen as a breach of this divine calling. The term "choneph" would have been a serious accusation, indicating a departure from the covenantal path.
