Strong's Lexicon chag: Feast, Festival Original Word: חַג Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: chag Pronunciation: khag Phonetic Spelling: (khag) Definition: a festival, a victim therefor Meaning: The term חַג (Chag) primarily refers to a "festival" or "feast." It can also imply a "victim" or "sacrifice" associated with the festival. Word Origin: Derived from the root verb חָגַג (chagag), which means "to celebrate" or "to hold a feast." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The corresponding Greek term in the Septuagint and the New Testament is ἑορτή (G1859 • heortē), which also means "feast" or "festival." This term is used in the New Testament to refer to Jewish festivals, such as in John 7:2: "But soon it was time for the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles." This entry provides a comprehensive understanding of the term חַג (Chag) as it is used in the Hebrew Bible, highlighting its significance in the religious and cultural practices of ancient Israel. Usage: The word חַג is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote religious festivals or feasts, particularly those ordained by God for the Israelites. These festivals were times of communal celebration, worship, and often involved sacrifices. Context: • The term חַג (Chag) is frequently used in the context of the major Jewish festivals, such as the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Tabernacles. These festivals were central to the religious and social life of ancient Israel, serving as times for communal gathering, worship, and remembrance of God's acts in history. • In Exodus 23:14-16, the Israelites are commanded to observe three annual feasts: "Three times a year you are to celebrate a feast to Me. You are to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread... You are also to keep the Feast of Harvest... and the Feast of Ingathering at the end of the year." • The festivals often included specific rituals and sacrifices, which were integral to the observance. For example, during the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Israelites were to eat unleavened bread for seven days as a reminder of their hasty departure from Egypt. • The term is also used in a broader sense to describe any religious celebration or gathering, emphasizing the communal and joyous nature of these events. • The festivals served not only as religious observances but also as times for social cohesion and renewal of the covenant relationship between God and His people.
