Usage: The word "chomesh" is used in the context of describing the physical body, particularly the midsection or abdomen. It is a term that appears in descriptions of physical characteristics or injuries. Context: The Hebrew word חֹמֶשׁ (chomesh) is a noun that appears in the Hebrew Bible to denote the abdomen or belly. It is derived from an unused root that conveys the idea of being stout or thick, which aptly describes the midsection of the human body. The term is used in contexts where the physical body is described, often in relation to strength or vulnerability. In the ancient Near Eastern context, the abdomen was considered a significant part of the body, both as a center of physical strength and as a vulnerable area in combat. The usage of "chomesh" in the Hebrew Scriptures reflects this duality, highlighting both the robustness and the susceptibility of the human form.
