Strong's Lexicon chomesh: Fifth part, one-fifth Original Word: חֹמֶשׁ Word Origin: Derived from the root חָמֵשׁ (chamesh), meaning "five." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "chomesh" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as the concept of a fifth part is more contextually specific to Hebrew law and culture. Usage: The term "chomesh" refers to a fifth part or one-fifth of something. It is used in the context of division or allocation, often related to portions or shares, particularly in financial or sacrificial contexts. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of dividing goods or resources into portions was common, especially in legal and religious contexts. The division into fifths could be related to offerings, penalties, or taxes. The use of "chomesh" reflects the structured and ordered nature of Hebrew society, where specific portions were designated for various purposes, including religious offerings and restitution.
