Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the root חָדַשׁ (chadash), meaning "to be new" or "to renew."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The concept of "new" or "renewal" in the Greek New Testament can be related to Strong's Greek entries such as:
G2537: καινός (kainos) • meaning "new" in respect to form or quality.
G3501: νέος (neos) • meaning "new" in respect to time, youthful, or recent.

These Greek terms capture the essence of newness and renewal, similar to the Hebrew concept encapsulated in the name Chodesh.

Usage: The term "Chodesh" appears as a proper noun in the context of genealogies and historical accounts within the Old Testament.

Context: • Chodesh is mentioned in the context of genealogical records, specifically in 1 Samuel 20:5, where it is used as a personal name. The name Chodesh is associated with the concept of newness or renewal, reflecting its root meaning. In the biblical narrative, names often carry significant meanings or reflect particular attributes or events. The use of Chodesh as a name may imply a sense of new beginnings or a renewal of circumstances.
• In 1 Samuel 20:5, the context involves David and Jonathan discussing the New Moon festival, which is a time of renewal and marking the beginning of a new month. Although the primary focus of the passage is on the festival, the name Chodesh itself is indicative of the cultural and religious significance of newness and renewal in the Hebrew tradition.
