Strong's Lexicon chlóros: Green, pale Original Word: χλωρός Part of Speech: Adjective Transliteration: chlóros Pronunciation: khlo-ros' Phonetic Spelling: (khlo-ros') Definition: Green, pale Meaning: green, pale green. Word Origin: Derived from the root word χλόη (chloē), meaning "young green shoot" or "green herb." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "chlóros," the concept of green or verdant life is often expressed in Hebrew through words like יָרֹק (yarok), meaning green or verdant, as seen in passages describing vegetation and life. Usage: The Greek adjective "chlóros" primarily denotes the color green, often associated with vegetation and life. In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe a pale or sickly appearance, particularly in the context of the apocalyptic imagery found in the Book of Revelation. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the color green was commonly associated with life, growth, and fertility due to its connection with vegetation. However, in a broader context, the term could also imply a lack of health or vitality, as seen in its metaphorical use in apocalyptic literature. The duality of the term reflects the ancient understanding of life and death as interconnected cycles.
