Strong's Lexicon chatsi: Half, middle, midst Original Word: חֵצִי Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to divide Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - ἥμισυς (hēmisus): G2255, meaning "half" - μέσος (mesos): G3319, meaning "middle" or "midst" Usage: The Hebrew word "chatsi" primarily denotes "half" or "middle." It is used to describe a division or a part of something, often in a literal sense, such as half of a physical object, time period, or quantity. It can also imply a central or middle position within a larger context. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of division and portions was significant, especially in terms of inheritance, land distribution, and religious practices. The division of time, such as the day or night, into halves was a practical way to organize daily life. The use of "chatsi" reflects a worldview that often saw life and resources as needing to be divided and shared among community members.
