Another related Greek term is "νῆψις" (nepsis), which refers to sobriety or vigilance, often used in the New Testament to describe spiritual alertness. Usage: The Hebrew verb "Chadad" primarily conveys the idea of sharpness or keenness, both in a literal and metaphorical sense. It can refer to the physical sharpness of a tool or weapon, as well as the mental sharpness or alertness of a person. In the context of the Bible, it often implies readiness or preparedness, whether in battle or in spiritual vigilance.
