Strong's Lexicon chavar: To join, to unite, to bind together Original Word: חָוַר Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: chavar Pronunciation: khaw-var' Phonetic Spelling: (khaw-var') Definition: To join, to unite, to bind together Meaning: to blanch Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts of joining or uniting is "συνάγω" (synagō - Strong's Greek 4863), which means to gather together or assemble. Usage: The Hebrew verb "chavar" primarily means to join or unite. It conveys the idea of binding together, whether in a physical, social, or spiritual sense. This term is often used to describe the act of joining or connecting things or people, emphasizing unity and togetherness. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of unity and community was vital. The Israelites were a tribal society, and their identity was deeply rooted in their connection to one another and to God. The idea of being "bound together" was not only a social necessity but also a spiritual one, as the covenant relationship with God required unity among His people. The use of "chavar" reflects this cultural emphasis on community and collective identity.
