Strong's Lexicon chuts: Outside, street, open place, abroad Original Word: חוּץ Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to sever or separate. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - ἔξω (exō): Often used in the New Testament to denote "outside" or "without," similar to the Hebrew "chuts." Usage: The Hebrew word "chuts" primarily refers to a location that is outside or external to a particular area or boundary. It is often used to describe places that are outside a house, city, or camp. In a broader sense, it can also refer to the streets or open spaces where public life occurs. The term is used both literally and metaphorically in the Hebrew Bible to denote physical spaces as well as social or spiritual states of being outside a particular community or covenant. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of "inside" versus "outside" was significant both physically and ritually. The "inside" often represented safety, community, and purity, while the "outside" could symbolize danger, exclusion, or impurity. For example, those who were ritually unclean or ostracized for various reasons were often sent "outside" the camp or city. Streets and open places were central to public life, serving as venues for trade, legal matters, and social interaction.
