Strong's Lexicon huk: Decree, statute, ordinance Original Word: הוּק Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to inscribe or engrave. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint (LXX) for "huk" is "νόμος" (nomos), which also means law or ordinance. Usage: The Hebrew word "huk" refers to a decree or statute, often implying a law or ordinance that is established by a higher authority. In the context of the Bible, it typically denotes divine laws or commandments given by God to His people. These decrees are meant to be followed as part of the covenant relationship between God and Israel. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, laws and decrees were central to the community's identity and religious practice. The statutes given by God were not merely legal requirements but were seen as a reflection of God's character and His will for His people. They were inscribed on tablets, symbolizing their permanence and divine origin. The concept of "huk" underscores the importance of obedience and the role of divine law in maintaining the covenant relationship.
