Strong's Lexicon chesheb: Band, woven work, artistic design Original Word: חֵשֶׁב Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: chesheb Pronunciation: kheh'-sheb Phonetic Spelling: (khay'-sheb) Definition: a belt, strap Meaning: A belt or strap, often used in the context of priestly garments. Word Origin: Derived from the root חָשַׁב (chashav), meaning "to think, account, or plan." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • There is no direct Greek equivalent for חֵשֶׁב in the Strong's Greek Concordance, as the term is specific to the Hebrew context of the priestly garments. However, related concepts of priestly attire and sacred garments can be found in the Greek New Testament, particularly in the descriptions of priestly functions and symbolism. Usage: The term חֵשֶׁב is used in the context of the priestly garments described in the Old Testament, specifically referring to the intricately woven band or belt that was part of the ephod worn by the High Priest. Context: • The word חֵשֶׁב appears in the context of the priestly garments as described in the Book of Exodus. It is specifically mentioned in relation to the ephod, a sacred vestment worn by the High Priest. The ephod was an elaborate garment, and the חֵשֶׁב was the skillfully woven band or belt that secured it. • In Exodus 28:8, the Berean Standard Bible (BSB) states: "The skillfully woven waistband of the ephod must be of one piece with the ephod, of the same workmanship, with gold, with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and with finely spun linen." • The חֵשֶׁב was not merely a functional item but also held symbolic significance, representing the unity and integrity of the High Priest's service. The detailed craftsmanship and the use of precious materials in its construction underscored the sacredness of the priestly duties. • The design and materials of the חֵשֶׁב, as described in the biblical text, reflect the broader theme of holiness and dedication to God, which is central to the priestly role in Israelite worship.
