Usage: The verb חָשַׂף (chasaph) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the action of stripping or making bare, often in a metaphorical sense, such as revealing or exposing something that was previously hidden or covered. Context: • The Hebrew verb חָשַׂף (chasaph) appears in various contexts within the Old Testament, often conveying the idea of exposure or uncovering. It is used both in literal and figurative senses. For instance, in Isaiah 52:10, the term is used to describe the LORD baring His holy arm in the sight of all nations, symbolizing the revelation of His power and salvation: "The LORD has bared His holy arm in the sight of all the nations; all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God." (BSB) • In another context, the term is used in Ezekiel 4:7, where the prophet is instructed to set his face toward the siege of Jerusalem and to bare his arm as a sign of the impending judgment: "You are to turn your face toward the siege of Jerusalem with your arm bared, and prophesy against it." (BSB) • The verb also appears in contexts involving the draining or emptying of something, as seen in Isaiah 19:7, where the drying up of the Nile is described: "The bulrushes by the Nile, by the edge of the Nile and all the sown land of the Nile, will dry up, be driven away, and be no more." (BSB) • The concept of making naked or exposing is a recurring theme, often associated with divine action or judgment, emphasizing the removal of protection or concealment to reveal truth or bring about change.
