Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root חָרַשׁ (charash), which means "to be silent" or "to plow."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Greek Number 2272: ἡσυχία (hēsychia) • meaning "quietness" or "silence." Usage: The word חֲרִישִׁי appears in the Hebrew Bible to describe moments of quietness or sultriness, often in a metaphorical sense. It is used to depict a setting or mood that is subdued or hushed. Context: The Hebrew term חֲרִישִׁי (charishi) is a descriptive adjective that captures the essence of quietness or sultriness. It is derived from the root חָרַשׁ (charash), which carries the dual connotations of silence and plowing. This duality reflects the word's ability to describe both a physical and metaphorical state of stillness. In the biblical context, חֲרִישִׁי is often used to convey a sense of calm before a storm or a moment of introspective silence. The term can also imply an oppressive heat or atmosphere, akin to the sultriness of a summer day. This word is not frequently used in the Hebrew Bible, but when it appears, it adds a layer of depth to the narrative, inviting readers to pause and reflect on the scene's emotional or spiritual undertones.
