Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of hastening or hurrying in the Hebrew Bible, as expressed by חִישׁ, finds its Greek counterparts in several terms used in the Septuagint and the New Testament. Some of these include: • Strong's Greek 4692 (σπεύδω, speudō): To hasten, to hurry. This Greek term is used in the New Testament to describe quick action or eagerness, similar to the Hebrew חִישׁ. • Strong's Greek 5030 (τάχος, tachos): Speed, swiftness. This term is used to convey the idea of rapidity or quickness, aligning with the urgency expressed by חִישׁ. These Greek terms capture the essence of hastening or urgency found in the Hebrew חִישׁ, illustrating the continuity of this concept across the biblical texts. Usage: The verb חִישׁ (ḥîš) is used in the context of moving quickly or hastening. It conveys a sense of urgency or rapid action. Context: The Hebrew verb חִישׁ (ḥîš) is a primitive root that primarily means "to hurry" or "to hasten." It is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe actions that are performed quickly or with urgency. The term is often employed in contexts where immediate action is required or where there is a pressing need to move swiftly. In the Berean Standard Bible, the usage of חִישׁ can be seen in passages that emphasize the need for rapid response or quick movement. For example, in Isaiah 5:19, the term is used to describe the hastening of God's work: "Let Him hurry, let Him hasten His work so that we may see it." This reflects a desire for God's intervention to occur swiftly. The concept of hastening is not only limited to physical movement but can also extend to the fulfillment of events or divine actions. The urgency implied by חִישׁ often carries a sense of anticipation or expectation, whether it be for deliverance, judgment, or the unfolding of God's plans.
