Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive rootCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance for the Hebrew חָתַל (ḥāṯal), as the concept of swaddling or wrapping is contextually specific to Hebrew cultural practices. However, related Greek terms might include those associated with binding or wrapping, such as δέω (deo • to bind) or περιβάλλω (periballo • to wrap around), though these are not direct translations. Usage: The verb חָתַל (ḥāṯal) is used in the context of wrapping or binding, often in reference to swaddling or enveloping something securely. Context: The Hebrew verb חָתַל (ḥāṯal) appears in the context of wrapping or swaddling, typically associated with the care and protection of infants. This term is used to describe the act of binding or wrapping tightly, akin to the way a newborn is swaddled for warmth and security. The imagery of swaddling is often symbolic of care, protection, and nurturing. In the ancient Near Eastern culture, swaddling was a common practice, reflecting the tender care given to infants. The act of swaddling is not only practical but also carries a deeper metaphorical meaning, suggesting the enveloping presence and protection of God over His people. The usage of חָתַל in the Hebrew Bible is limited, but its implications are significant in understanding the cultural practices and the theological symbolism of divine care and protection.
