Strong's Lexicon chaber: Companion, associate, fellow Original Word: חָבֵר Word Origin: Derived from the root חָבַר (chabar), meaning "to join" or "to associate." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2083 (hetairos): Companion, comrade - G3353 (metochos): Partner, sharer Usage: The Hebrew word "chaber" primarily denotes a companion or associate, someone who is joined or connected with another in a relationship of fellowship or partnership. It is used to describe both personal and communal relationships, emphasizing the bond and unity between individuals or groups. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, relationships and community were central to daily life. The concept of a "chaber" would have been significant in a culture that valued kinship, loyalty, and mutual support. Companionship was not only a social necessity but also a spiritual and moral ideal, reflecting the communal nature of God's covenant with His people.
