Berean Strong's Lexicon chut: Thread, cord, line Original Word: חוּט Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: chut Pronunciation: khoot Phonetic Spelling: (khoot) Definition: Thread, cord, line Meaning: to string together, to repair Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "chut," the concept of a thread or cord can be related to Greek words like "σχοινίον" (schoinion - G4979), meaning a small rope or cord. Usage: The Hebrew word "chut" primarily refers to a thread or cord. It is used in the context of weaving or sewing, indicating a thin, flexible strand. In the Bible, it often symbolizes something that binds or connects, whether literally, as in the construction of garments or tents, or metaphorically, as in the ties of relationships or covenants. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, threads and cords were essential components of daily life. They were used in the making of clothing, tents, and various tools. The process of spinning and weaving was a common domestic task, often carried out by women. Threads also held symbolic significance, representing continuity, connection, and the intricate design of God's creation.
