Berean Strong's Lexicon chinta': Thorn, Prickle Original Word: חִנְתָּא Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: chinta' Pronunciation: kheen-tah' Phonetic Spelling: (khint-taw') Definition: Thorn, Prickle Meaning: wheat Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4647 (σκόλοψ, skolops) - A thorn or splinter, used metaphorically in the New Testament. Usage: The term "chinta'" refers to a thorn or prickle, often used metaphorically in the Hebrew Bible to describe something that causes pain, irritation, or difficulty. It can symbolize obstacles or challenges that one must overcome. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, thorns were a common part of the landscape, often found in the wilderness and fields. They were considered nuisances that could damage crops and harm livestock. Thorns are frequently used in biblical literature as symbols of sin, hardship, and divine judgment. The imagery of thorns would have been familiar to an agrarian society that understood the labor involved in clearing fields and the pain associated with handling thorny plants.
