Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root חָבַר (chabar), which means "to join" or "to associate."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G1484 (ἔθνος, ethnos): While primarily meaning "nation" or "people," this term can also imply a group or community, similar to the idea of associates or companions.
• G5333 (φίλος, philos): This Greek word means "friend" or "companion," closely aligning with the concept of חֲבַר as an associate or companion.
• G5384 (σύνδουλος, syndoulos): Meaning "fellow servant" or "associate," this term reflects the idea of shared service or companionship, akin to the Aramaic חֲבַר.

In summary, חֲבַר (chabar) is a term that encapsulates the idea of companionship and association, reflecting the biblical emphasis on community and relational bonds among individuals.

Usage: The word is used in the context of describing a person who is an associate or companion, often in a social or communal setting.

Context: • The Aramaic term חֲבַר appears in the context of the Hebrew Bible, particularly in the books that contain Aramaic sections, such as Daniel and Ezra. It is used to describe individuals who are companions or associates, often in a setting of shared purpose or community.
• In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is translated to reflect the idea of companionship or association, emphasizing the relational aspect of the term. The usage of חֲבַר highlights the importance of community and fellowship in the biblical narrative, where individuals are often depicted as part of a larger group or community.
• The concept of being an associate or companion is significant in the biblical context, as it underscores the value of relationships and the interconnectedness of individuals within the community of faith. This term, therefore, not only describes a social role but also conveys a deeper theological message about unity and fellowship among God's people.
