Strong's Lexicon chaphaz: To hurry, to be in haste, to be alarmed Original Word: חָפַז Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of haste or urgency can be found in Greek words such as "σπουδάζω" (spoudazo - Strong's G4704), which means to hasten or be diligent. Usage: The Hebrew verb "chaphaz" primarily conveys the sense of moving quickly or being in a state of haste. It can also imply a sense of alarm or urgency, often in response to a sudden event or realization. The term is used to describe both physical actions, such as hurrying, and emotional states, such as being startled or anxious. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of haste was often associated with urgency and the need for immediate action. This could be due to external threats, divine commands, or personal realizations. The Israelites, living in a world where communication and travel were much slower than today, would have understood the importance of quick responses in times of danger or divine instruction. The term "chaphaz" reflects a common human experience of needing to act swiftly in critical situations.
