Strong's Lexicon chakkah: Hook Original Word: חַכָּה Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to wait or adhere Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Greek 44 (ἄγκιστρον, ankistron) – meaning "hook," used in a similar context in the New Testament. Usage: The Hebrew word "chakkah" primarily refers to a "hook," often used in the context of fishing. It is a tool designed to catch fish by luring them with bait. The term can also metaphorically imply being caught or ensnared, reflecting a sense of being drawn into something. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, fishing was a common occupation, especially in regions near bodies of water like the Sea of Galilee. Hooks were essential tools for fishermen, who relied on them to provide food and trade goods. The use of hooks in fishing is a practice that dates back thousands of years, and it was a familiar concept to the people of biblical times. The imagery of a hook would have been easily understood by the original audience of the Scriptures.
