Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root חָנָה (chanah), which means "to encamp" or "to pitch a tent."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Greek Number 5438 (φυλακή, phylakē): This Greek term is often used in the New Testament to denote a "prison" or "guard," similar to the Hebrew חָנוּת in its function as a place of confinement. Usage: The word חָנוּת is used in the context of describing a physical space that serves as a holding area, such as a prison or a secure storage location. It is not frequently used in the Hebrew Bible, indicating its specific and limited application. Context: The Hebrew term חָנוּת (chanut) appears in the context of describing a secure, enclosed space, often used for confinement. The root חָנָה (chanah) suggests a sense of setting up or establishing a place, which aligns with the concept of a vault or cell as a designated area for holding. In biblical times, such spaces were essential for the administration of justice and the protection of goods. The use of חָנוּת in the Hebrew Bible underscores the importance of security and order within the community. The term reflects the ancient Near Eastern understanding of justice and the need for physical spaces to enforce societal norms.
