Berean Strong's Lexicon chuwsh: To hasten, to hurry, to be eager Original Word: חוּשׁ Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: chuwsh Pronunciation: khoosh Phonetic Spelling: (koosh) Definition: To hasten, to hurry, to be eager Meaning: to hurry, to be eager with excitement, enjoyment Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4692 (σπεύδω, speudō): To hasten, to hurry - G5036 (τάχος, tachos): Speed, quickness Usage: The Hebrew verb "chuwsh" primarily conveys the idea of speed or urgency. It is often used in contexts where quick action or rapid movement is emphasized. The term can imply both physical hastening, such as running or moving quickly, and a sense of eagerness or readiness to act. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of hastening was significant in various contexts, from military actions to daily life activities. The urgency to act swiftly was often associated with obedience to divine commands, the need for immediate response in times of danger, or the eagerness to fulfill a duty or promise. The cultural emphasis on promptness reflects a broader biblical theme of readiness and responsiveness to God's will.
