Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to see or perceive.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G243: ἄλλος (allos) • While not directly related in meaning, this entry is often used in the context of distinguishing between different parts or portions, similar to how חָזֶה distinguishes a specific part of the animal. Usage: The term חָזֶה is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to the breast of an animal, especially in the context of offerings and sacrifices. It is a specific portion of the animal that was given to the priests as part of their share of the sacrificial offerings. Context: The Hebrew term חָזֶה (chazeh) appears primarily in the context of the Levitical laws concerning sacrifices. In the sacrificial system outlined in the Torah, the breast of the sacrificial animal was designated as a portion for the priests. This is seen in passages such as Leviticus 7:31-34, where the breast is mentioned as part of the peace offerings. The breast, along with the right thigh, was waved as a wave offering before the LORD and then given to the priests as their due. This practice underscored the provision for the Levitical priesthood, who were sustained by the offerings of the people. The breast, being a significant portion of meat, symbolized sustenance and provision, reflecting the care and support of the priestly class by the community of Israel. The term is also used in other contexts to describe the breast of a human or animal, but its primary biblical significance is tied to the sacrificial system.
