Strong's Lexicon chuphshah: Freedom, liberty Original Word: חֻפְשָׁה Part of Speech: Noun Feminine Transliteration: chuphshah Pronunciation: khoof-shaw' Phonetic Spelling: (khoof-shaw') Definition: Freedom, liberty Meaning: liberty Word Origin: Derived from the root חָפֵשׁ (chaphash), meaning "to be free" or "to set free." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - 1659 ἐλευθερόω (eleutheroo) – to set free, liberate - 1658 ἐλεύθερος (eleutheros) – free, not a slave Usage: The term "chuphshah" refers to the state of being free or the condition of liberty. It is used in the context of release from servitude or bondage, often in relation to the emancipation of slaves or servants. The concept of "chuphshah" underscores the transition from a state of subjugation to one of autonomy and self-determination. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, slavery was a recognized institution, but it was regulated by Mosaic Law to ensure humane treatment. The concept of "chuphshah" was significant in this context, as it provided a legal and moral framework for the release of Hebrew slaves. According to the Law, Hebrew slaves were to be set free in the seventh year of service (Exodus 21:2) or during the Year of Jubilee (Leviticus 25:10). This practice highlighted the value placed on freedom and the belief that all people ultimately belong to God.
