Strong's Lexicon Chammath: Chammath Original Word: חַמַּת Part of Speech: Proper Name Location Transliteration: Chammath Pronunciation: kham-math' Phonetic Spelling: (klam-math') Definition: Chammath Meaning: Chammath means "hot springs" or "warm baths." Word Origin: Derived from the root חָמָה (chamah), meaning "to be hot" or "to heat." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Chammath, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun referring to a geographical location. However, the concept of "hot springs" or "warm baths" may be related to Greek terms describing similar natural features, though these are not directly linked to the Hebrew term חַמַּת. Usage: Chammath is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, referring to a location known for its hot springs. Context: Chammath is a biblical city located in the territory of Naphtali, mentioned in the context of the cities of refuge and Levitical cities. It is identified with the modern site of Hamat Tiberias, near the Sea of Galilee. The name Chammath reflects the presence of hot springs in the area, which were likely a significant feature of the city. In the Bible, Chammath is mentioned in Joshua 19:35 as one of the fortified cities in the inheritance of the tribe of Naphtali: "The fortified cities were Ziddim, Zer, Hammath, Rakkath, Chinnereth." The city's strategic location and natural resources would have made it an important settlement in ancient Israel.
