Strong's Lexicon chayits: Wall, partition, barrier Original Word: חַיִץ Word Origin: Derived from the root חָצַץ (chatsats), meaning "to divide" or "to separate." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is "τείχος" (teichos), meaning "wall." Usage: The Hebrew word "chayits" refers to a physical barrier or wall that separates or divides spaces. It is used in the context of creating boundaries, either for protection or demarcation. In the biblical context, it often signifies a division between sacred and common spaces or between different groups of people. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, walls were significant both in urban and rural settings. They provided protection from invaders and wild animals, marked property boundaries, and delineated sacred spaces such as the temple. The concept of a wall also carried metaphorical meanings, symbolizing separation between God and humanity due to sin, or the division between the Israelites and other nations.
