Strong's Lexicon chaluqqah: Portion, allotment, division Original Word: חֲלֻקָּה Word Origin: Derived from the root חָלַק (chalak), meaning "to divide" or "to apportion." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2819 κλῆρος (kleros) – lot, portion, inheritance - G3313 μέρος (meros) – part, share, portion Usage: The term "chaluqqah" refers to a portion or division, often in the context of land or inheritance. It is used to describe the allocation of land among the tribes of Israel, as well as the division of spoils or resources. The concept of "chaluqqah" underscores the importance of fair distribution and the divine order in the allocation of resources. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, land was a critical component of identity, sustenance, and economic stability. The division of land among the tribes was not only a practical necessity but also a fulfillment of God's promises to the patriarchs. The process of dividing the land was conducted with great care and often involved casting lots, which was seen as a way to discern God's will. The idea of "chaluqqah" reflects the communal and covenantal nature of Israelite society, where land was both a divine gift and a communal responsibility.
