Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive rootCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The corresponding Greek term in the Septuagint and New Testament that aligns with the concept of חוּס (chus) is Strong's Greek Number G5339, σπλαγχνίζομαι (splanchnizomai), which means to have compassion or to be moved with pity. This Greek term is frequently used in the Gospels to describe Jesus' compassion for the crowds and individuals in need, reflecting a similar theme of mercy and compassion found in the Hebrew Scriptures. Usage: The verb חוּס (chus) is used in the Hebrew Bible to convey the idea of showing pity, compassion, or mercy. It often implies a sense of sparing or having regard for someone or something, typically in a context where one might otherwise be inclined to act harshly or destructively. Context: • The Hebrew verb חוּס (chus) appears in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, often associated with God's mercy or human compassion. It is used to describe the act of sparing someone from harm or showing leniency. For example, in Jonah 4:10-11, God uses the term to express His compassion for Nineveh, contrasting Jonah's lack of pity for the city. The term is also used in contexts where individuals are urged to show mercy or compassion towards others, as seen in Deuteronomy 13:8, where Israelites are instructed not to spare those who entice them to idolatry.
