Strong's Lexicon challaq: To divide, to share, to apportion, to distribute Original Word: חַלָּק Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3307 (μερίζω, merizō): To divide, to distribute - G3313 (μέρος, meros): A part, a portion Usage: The Hebrew verb "challaq" primarily means to divide or distribute something among people. It is often used in contexts where land, spoils, or responsibilities are being apportioned. The term can also imply a sense of fairness or equity in the distribution process. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the division of land and resources was a significant aspect of community life. The land was seen as a divine inheritance, and its distribution was often carried out according to tribal and familial lines. The concept of "challaq" reflects the importance of equitable distribution and the maintenance of social order within the community. This practice was deeply rooted in the covenantal relationship between God and His people, where the land was a gift from God to be stewarded responsibly.
