Strong's Lexicon
chasid: Faithful, godly, holy, pious, kind

Original Word: חָסִיד
Part of Speech: Adjective
Transliteration: chaciyd
Pronunciation: khaw-SEED
Phonetic Spelling: (khaw-seed')
Definition: Faithful, godly, holy, pious, kind
Meaning: kind, pious

Word Origin: Derived from the root חָסַד (chasad), which means "to be kind" or "to show mercy."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3741 (hosios) - often translated as "holy" or "pious."

- G2152 (eusebes) - meaning "godly" or "devout."

Usage: The term "chasid" is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe individuals who are characterized by their piety, faithfulness, and devotion to God. It often refers to those who are loyal to God's covenant and exhibit kindness and mercy towards others. The word can denote both a personal attribute of godliness and a communal identity of those who are devoted to living according to God's laws.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, being a "chasid" was closely associated with living in accordance with the covenantal relationship established between God and His people. This involved adherence to the Torah, participation in religious rituals, and a commitment to ethical behavior. The concept of chasidut (piety) was central to the identity of the Israelite community, emphasizing a life of holiness and service to God.

חָסִיד adjective masculine kind, pious (so, as denoting active practice of חֶסֶד, kindness, Thes MV De and most, compare קָצִיר, מָּקִיד etc.; > Hup on Psalm 4:4 RVm who explained as passive reception of ׳יs חֶסֶד, compare שָֹׂכֹיר, אָסִיר etc.; its use as attribute of God Jeremiah 3:12; Psalm 145:17, and the context Psalm 12:1; Micah 7:2 etc., favour active sense) — ׳ח Psalm 4:4 9t.; חֲסִידֶ֑ךָ Deuteronomy 33:8; Psalm 89:20; חֲסִידְי֯ךָ Psalm 16:10; plural חֲסִידִים Psalm 149:1; Psalm 149:5; suffix חֲסִידָ֑י Psalm 50:5; חֲסִידָו֯ 1 Samuel 2:9 15t. suffixes; —

b. of wing of ostrich אִם אֶבְרָה חֲסִידָה Job 39:13 is it a kindly pinion? possibly with play on חֲסִידָה feminine noun strok (is the ostrich kind like the stork?).

c. of God, only Jeremiah 3:12; Psalm 145:17.

2 pious, godly, either as exhibition of 'duteous love' toward God (CheOP 378), or (in view of rarity of such passages as Hosea 6:4,6; Jeremiah 2:2, and their possible ambiguity) because kindness, as prominent in the godly, comes to imply other attributes, and to be a designation of the godly character, piety:

a. as adjective — גּוֺי לא חסיד a nation, not pious, = ungodly Psalm 43:1.

b. elsewhere as substantive: singular, a pious man, the godly Psalm 4:4; Psalm 12:2; Psalm 32:6; Psalm 86:2, "" יָשָׁר Micah 7:2; (thy) pious one(s) Psalm 16:10 (Kt plural), 1 Samuel 2:9 (Qr plural) Proverbs 2:8, אִישׁ חֲסִידֶ֑ךָ men of thy pious one Deuteronomy 33:8 (Moses, see Di; others, the man, thy godly one, i.e. Levi); plural the pious, godly, those of the people who were faithful, devoted to God's service, only in Psalter and chiefly, if not entirely, in late Psalms Psalm 149:1; Psalm 149:5; his pious ones Psalm 30:5; Psalm 31:24; Psalm 37:28; Psalm 85:9; Psalm 97:10; Psalm 116:15; Psalm 148:14; Psalm 149:9; thy pious ones Psalm 52:11; Psalm 79:2; Psalm 132:9 2Chronicles 6:41; Psalm 145:10; my pious ones Psalm 50:5, her (Zion's) pious Psalm 132:16. — (In Maccabean age, συναγωγὴ Ἀσιδαίων denoted, technically, the party of the pious, who opposed the Hellenization of the Judaea, see 1Macc 2:42; 7:13; 2 Macc 14:6 and CheOP 48, 56; so perhaps Psalm 116:15; Psalm 149:1; Psalm 149:5; Psalm 149:9.)
