Strong's Lexicon chalushah: Weakness, feebleness Original Word: חֲלוּשָׁה Word Origin: Derived from the root חָלַשׁ (chalash), meaning "to be weak" or "to be feeble." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of weakness is ἀσθένεια (astheneia), Strong's Greek #769, which also means weakness or infirmity. Usage: The term "chalushah" is used to denote a state of weakness or feebleness, often in a physical or metaphorical sense. It can refer to the frailty of individuals, nations, or even moral and spiritual conditions. The word captures the idea of lacking strength or being in a vulnerable state. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, strength and power were highly valued, both in physical terms and in terms of moral and spiritual fortitude. Weakness, therefore, was often seen as a condition to be overcome or a state that required divine intervention. The concept of weakness is frequently juxtaposed with God's strength, highlighting the dependence of humanity on divine power.
