Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to give.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of a "gift" or "offering" in the Hebrew Bible can be related to several Greek terms in the New Testament, such as δῶρον (Strong's Greek 1435), which means "gift" or "offering," and θυσία (Strong's Greek 2378), which means "sacrifice." These Greek terms capture the essence of giving and sacrifice as acts of worship and devotion, paralleling the Hebrew understanding of הַבְהָב. Usage: The word הַבְהָב is not frequently used in the Hebrew Bible. It is associated with the concept of giving, particularly in the context of offerings or sacrifices that are wholly consumed. Context: The Hebrew term הַבְהָב (habhab) is a rare word found in the Old Testament, primarily understood as a "gift" or "holocaust." The term is derived from an unused root that implies the act of giving. In the context of ancient Israelite worship, a holocaust refers to a burnt offering, a type of sacrifice where the offering is completely consumed by fire, symbolizing total dedication to God. The concept of a gift in the biblical sense often extends beyond mere material exchange, encompassing spiritual and covenantal dimensions. The act of giving a holocaust was a profound expression of devotion and submission to the divine will, reflecting the worshiper's acknowledgment of God's sovereignty and grace. The term's rarity in the biblical text suggests its specific and solemn application in the context of sacrificial rites.
