Strong's Lexicon habar: To join, to unite, to bind together Original Word: הָבַר Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2853 (kollao): To glue, to cleave, to join - G4347 (proskollao): To glue to, to adhere, to join closely Usage: The Hebrew verb "habar" primarily means to join or unite. It is used in various contexts to describe the act of binding or joining together, whether it be people, objects, or ideas. The term can imply a physical joining, such as binding materials together, or a more abstract union, such as forming alliances or friendships. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of joining or binding was significant in both social and religious contexts. Alliances between tribes or nations were crucial for survival and prosperity. Similarly, the binding of materials was essential in construction and craftsmanship. The idea of unity and community was deeply embedded in the social fabric of Israelite society, reflecting their covenant relationship with God and with one another.
