Strong's Lexicon chazeh: Breast, chest Original Word: חָזֶה Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: chazeh Pronunciation: khaw-ZEH Phonetic Spelling: (khaw-zeh') Definition: Breast, chest Meaning: the breast Word Origin: Derived from the root חָזָה (chazah), meaning "to see" or "to perceive." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "chazeh," the concept of sacrificial portions can be related to Greek terms used in the Septuagint and New Testament, such as "κρέας" (kreas, meaning "meat") and "στήθος" (stēthos, meaning "breast" or "chest"). Usage: The Hebrew word "chazeh" primarily refers to the breast or chest, particularly in the context of sacrificial offerings. In the Old Testament, it is often used to describe the portion of the sacrificial animal that was given to the priests as their share. This term is significant in the context of Levitical laws and rituals, where specific parts of the animal were designated for different purposes. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the sacrificial system was central to religious life. The breast of the sacrificial animal, or "chazeh," was considered a choice portion and was given to the priests as part of their sustenance. This practice underscored the provision for those who served in the temple and highlighted the communal aspect of worship, where offerings were shared among the people and the priesthood. The distribution of the sacrificial portions was a tangible expression of God's provision and the community's support for the Levitical priesthood.
