Strong's Lexicon cheber: Company, association, band, group Original Word: חֶבֶר Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: cheber Pronunciation: kheh'-ber Phonetic Spelling: (kheh'-ber) Definition: a society, a spell Meaning: The term חֶבֶר primarily denotes a "society" or "association." It can also refer to a "spell" or "charm," indicating a binding or joining together in a mystical or magical sense. Word Origin: Derived from the root חָבַר (chabar), which means "to join" or "to bind together." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The Greek equivalent that corresponds to the concept of association or fellowship is Strong's Greek Number G2839, κοινός (koinos), which means "common" or "shared." This term is used in the New Testament to describe communal or shared aspects, such as in Acts 2:44: "All the believers were together and had everything in common." This lexical entry provides a comprehensive understanding of the Hebrew term חֶבֶר, highlighting its dual usage in the context of both social and mystical associations, and its corresponding Greek concept of communal sharing. Usage: The word חֶבֶר is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe both social and mystical associations. It appears in contexts that highlight the idea of joining or binding, whether in a communal or supernatural sense. Context: • The term חֶבֶר is found in various contexts within the Hebrew Scriptures. It is used to describe a group or society, often with a connotation of unity or fellowship. For example, in Psalms 64:5, it is used to describe a group of conspirators: "They sharpen their tongues like swords and aim their bitter words like arrows." • In a different context, חֶבֶר can refer to a spell or charm, as seen in Deuteronomy 18:11, where it is listed among forbidden practices: "or casts spells, or consults a medium or spiritist, or inquires of the dead." • The dual usage of the term reflects the broader Semitic understanding of binding, whether in a social or mystical sense. The concept of binding is central, whether it is people being bound together in a society or individuals being bound by a spell.
