Strong's Lexicon charakkim: Crevices, cracks, or fissures Original Word: חֶרֶךְ Word Origin: Derived from the root חָרַק (charak), which means "to gnash" or "to grind." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of crevices or hiding places can be related to Greek terms like "σπήλαιον" (spelaion - cave) or "χάσμα" (chasma - chasm). Usage: The term "charakkim" refers to small openings or gaps, often in the context of natural formations such as rocks or walls. It is used to describe places where small creatures might hide or where water might seep through. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the landscape was often rugged and rocky, with many natural crevices and fissures. These were significant in daily life, providing shelter for animals and sometimes even for people. They also played a role in agriculture and water management, as water could collect in these spaces.
