Usage: The verb חוּשׁ (chush) is used in the Hebrew Bible to convey a sense of hastening or eagerness. It often implies a swift movement or a prompt response, driven by excitement or urgency. Context: The Hebrew verb חוּשׁ (chush) appears in various contexts within the Old Testament, often highlighting the urgency or eagerness of an action. This term is used to describe both physical and emotional states of hastening. For instance, in Isaiah 5:19, it is used to express a desire for God to act quickly: "Let Him hurry, let Him hasten His work so we may see it." This reflects a longing for immediate divine intervention. In another instance, Job 31:5 uses חוּשׁ to describe a swiftness in action, emphasizing the integrity and promptness of Job's conduct: "If I have walked with falsehood or my foot has hurried to deceit." Here, the term underscores the rapidity with which one might fall into deceit, contrasting with Job's righteousness. The verb also appears in contexts of eagerness and anticipation, as seen in Psalm 22:19: "But You, O LORD, be not far off; O my Strength, come quickly to help me." This plea for God’s swift assistance highlights the urgency and fervent expectation of divine aid. חוּשׁ is a versatile term that captures both the physical act of hastening and the emotional state of eagerness or excitement. It is a vivid expression of human urgency and anticipation, often directed towards divine action or intervention.
