Anm., but perhaps read this, and regard as Qal (original meaning dubious; Arabic Topical Lexicon Word Origin: This word is of Aramaic origin, related to the Hebrew חוּט (chut), which means "thread" or "cord."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct Greek equivalent for the Aramaic חוּט, the concept of repairing or restoring can be related to Greek terms such as καταρτίζω (katartizō • Strong's Greek 2675), which means "to mend" or "to restore," and ἀποκαθίστημι (apokathistēmi • Strong's Greek 600), meaning "to restore" or "to bring back to a former state." Usage: The term is used in the context of repairing or stringing together, often in a metaphorical sense. It appears in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, particularly in the books of Daniel and Ezra, where Aramaic is used alongside Hebrew. Context: • The Aramaic verb חוּט (chut) is found in the context of ancient texts where the act of repairing or stringing together is described. In the Biblical narrative, this term can be understood as a metaphor for restoration or reconciliation, reflecting the broader theological themes of redemption and renewal.
