Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root חָפֵשׁ (chaphash), which means "to be free" or "to set free."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek term in the New Testament is ἐλευθερία (eleutheria), Strong's Greek Number G1657, which also means "liberty" or "freedom." This Greek term is used in the New Testament to describe the freedom believers have in Christ, emphasizing liberation from the bondage of sin and the law. For example, in Galatians 5:1 (BSB), it is written, "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free; stand firm, then, and do not be encumbered once more by a yoke of slavery." This reflects the continuity of the biblical theme of liberty from the Old Testament to the New Testament. Usage: The word חֻפְשָׁה is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote the state of being free, often in the context of slaves being granted their freedom. It is a term that signifies the transition from bondage to a state of liberty. Context: חֻפְשָׁה (chuphshah) is a noun that appears in the context of the ancient Hebrew legal and social system, where it is used to describe the condition of a person who has been released from slavery. The concept of liberty in the Hebrew Bible is deeply rooted in the covenantal relationship between God and His people, where freedom is not only a physical state but also a spiritual and moral condition. The granting of חֻפְשָׁה is often associated with the observance of the Sabbatical year and the Year of Jubilee, times when debts were forgiven, and slaves were set free, reflecting God's desire for justice and mercy. The term underscores the biblical principle that true freedom is found in living according to God's laws and purposes.
