Strong's Lexicon chasaph: To strip, make bare, uncover Original Word: חָשַׂף Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: chasaph Pronunciation: khaw-saf' Phonetic Spelling: (khaw-saf') Definition: To strip, make bare, uncover Meaning: to strip off, to make naked, to drain away, bail up Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "chasaph," the concept of uncovering or revealing can be related to Greek words such as "ἀποκαλύπτω" (apokalyptō - Strong's Greek 601), which means to reveal or uncover. Usage: The Hebrew verb "chasaph" primarily means to strip or make bare. It is used in the context of removing a covering or exposing something that was previously hidden. This term can be applied both literally, such as stripping the bark from a tree, and metaphorically, such as uncovering secrets or revealing truths. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the act of uncovering or stripping away was often associated with judgment or revelation. The removal of a covering could symbolize the exposure of sin or the unveiling of divine truth. In a society where coverings and garments held significant cultural and religious meaning, the act of uncovering was a powerful metaphor for vulnerability and revelation.
