Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence in the Greek Strong's entries for חַבָּר, the concept of partnership or companionship can be related to Greek terms such as κοινωνός (koinonos, Strong's Greek 2844), which means "partner" or "sharer," and σύζυγος (syzygos, Strong's Greek 4805), meaning "yoke-fellow" or "companion." These Greek terms similarly convey the idea of shared participation and fellowship.

Usage: The term חַבָּר is used in the context of partnership or companionship, often implying a close association or alliance.

Context: • The Hebrew word חַבָּר (chabbar) is used to denote a partner or companion, emphasizing the idea of joining or associating with another. This term is rooted in the verb חָבַר (chabar), which means "to join" or "to bind together." The concept of partnership in the biblical context often extends beyond mere companionship to include shared goals, mutual support, and a sense of unity.
• In the Old Testament, the notion of partnership is significant in various contexts, including familial, social, and spiritual relationships. The use of חַבָּר underscores the importance of alliances and the strength found in unity. This term can be seen in passages where individuals or groups come together for a common purpose, reflecting the biblical value placed on community and cooperation.
• The Berean Standard Bible (BSB) provides a clear translation of this term, maintaining the essence of partnership and association as intended in the original Hebrew text. The concept of being a "partner" is integral to understanding the dynamics of relationships in biblical narratives, where collaboration and mutual support are often highlighted.
