Strong's Lexicon chanuppah: Hypocrisy, godlessness, impiety Original Word: חֲנֻפָה Word Origin: Derived from the root חָנֵף (chaneph), which means to be polluted or profane. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5272 (ὑπόκρισις, hypokrisis) - Hypocrisy - G765 (ἀσεβής, asebēs) - Ungodly, impious Usage: The term "chanuppah" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a state of moral corruption, hypocrisy, or godlessness. It often refers to the behavior of individuals or groups who outwardly appear righteous but are inwardly corrupt or deceitful. This word underscores a divergence between external religious observance and internal moral integrity. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, religious observance was deeply intertwined with daily life and governance. The prophets frequently condemned hypocrisy and godlessness, as these behaviors undermined the covenant relationship between God and His people. The term "chanuppah" would have been a strong indictment against those who failed to live according to God's laws, despite outward appearances.
