Strong's Lexicon chomah: Wall Original Word: חוֹמָה Word Origin: Derived from an unused root probably meaning to join Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5038 (teichos): Refers to a wall, particularly in the context of a city wall or fortification. Usage: The Hebrew word "chomah" primarily refers to a wall, often used in the context of city walls or fortifications. It signifies a structure built for protection, defense, and separation. In the biblical narrative, walls are symbolic of security, strength, and the division between the sacred and the profane. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, city walls were crucial for the protection of inhabitants against invaders and wild animals. They were often massive structures, sometimes several feet thick, and could be made of stone, mud-brick, or a combination of materials. The presence of a wall around a city was a sign of its strength and stability. In Israelite culture, walls also had religious significance, as seen in the walls of Jerusalem, which protected the Temple, the center of Jewish worship.
