These Greek terms capture similar themes of freedom and release found in the Hebrew Scriptures. Usage: The verb חָפַשׁ (chaphash) is used in the context of setting free or loosening, often in relation to the liberation of individuals or the act of manumission. Context: The Hebrew verb חָפַשׁ (chaphash) is a primitive root that conveys the action of spreading loose or setting free. It is primarily used in the context of manumission, which refers to the act of releasing someone from slavery or servitude. This term is significant in the biblical narrative as it reflects the broader themes of freedom and liberation that are central to the Hebrew Scriptures. The concept of manumission is deeply embedded in the social and religious fabric of ancient Israel, where the release of slaves was not only a legal obligation but also a moral and spiritual act reflecting God's deliverance of Israel from bondage in Egypt. The use of חָפַשׁ underscores the importance of justice and compassion in the treatment of others, aligning with the biblical mandate to care for the oppressed and to act justly.
