Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root חָלַק (chalak), meaning "to divide" or "to apportion." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The concept of division or portion in the Hebrew Bible, as represented by Chelek, can be related to Greek terms such as κλῆρος (kleros, Strong's Greek 2819), which also denotes a lot, portion, or inheritance. This Greek term is used in the New Testament to describe the casting of lots and the allocation of portions, echoing the Old Testament practices and themes associated with Chelek. Usage: The term Chelek is used in the context of geographical locations or divisions, particularly in relation to the distribution of land among tribes or families. Context: • Chelek is a proper noun found in the Hebrew Bible, specifically referring to a location or a portion of land. The term is rooted in the concept of division or allocation, often used in the context of dividing land among the tribes of Israel. The name Chelek is indicative of a specific area or region that was apportioned as an inheritance or possession. • In the biblical narrative, the division of land was a significant event, as it represented the fulfillment of God's promises to the patriarchs regarding the inheritance of the Promised Land. The allocation of land was conducted by casting lots, a practice that underscored the belief in divine providence in determining the portions each tribe received. • The term Chelek, therefore, carries connotations of divine order and providence, as well as the practical aspects of land distribution and inheritance. It reflects the broader biblical themes of covenant, promise, and the establishment of the Israelites in the land given to them by God.
