Usage: The verb חָוַר (chavar) is used in the context of becoming white or pale, often in a figurative sense to describe fear or astonishment. Context: The Hebrew verb חָוַר (chavar) is a primitive root that conveys the action of blanching or becoming white. This term is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a physical change in appearance, often associated with emotional responses such as fear or shock. The imagery of blanching is powerful, evoking the sudden loss of color in one's face due to intense emotions. This term is not frequently used in the biblical text, which suggests its specific and vivid application in the contexts where it appears. The concept of blanching can also be metaphorically extended to describe purity or cleansing, although this is not the primary usage in the biblical text.
