Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine
Transliteration: Chuwl
Pronunciation: khool
Phonetic Spelling: (khool)
Definition: Chul
Meaning: Chul is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible.

Word Origin: Derived from a root word meaning "to twist" or "to whirl."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name Chul, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew genealogical context and does not have a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament texts.

Usage: The name Chul appears in genealogical contexts within the Old Testament, specifically in the Book of Genesis.

Context: • Chul is mentioned in the genealogical records of the descendants of Nahor, Abraham's brother. In Genesis 22:21, Chul is listed as one of the sons of Nahor and Milcah. The passage reads: "Uz the firstborn, his brother Buz, Kemuel (the father of Aram), Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel." Chul is not directly mentioned in this verse, but is traditionally understood to be a variant or a scribal error for one of the names listed, possibly Chesed or Hazo, due to textual variations and interpretations in ancient manuscripts.
• The name Chul is not associated with any specific narrative or event in the biblical text, and its mention is limited to genealogical records. The significance of Chul lies primarily in its contribution to the lineage and family history of Nahor, which is part of the broader ancestral context of the patriarchal narratives in Genesis.
