Strong's Lexicon chathan: Bridegroom, son-in-law, to become a son-in-law Original Word: חָתָן Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3566 νυμφίος (nymphios) - bridegroom - G5207 υἱός (huios) - son, used in the context of son-in-law Usage: The Hebrew word "chathan" primarily refers to a bridegroom or son-in-law. As a verb, it means to become a son-in-law or to enter into a marriage relationship. This term is used to describe the relationship established through marriage, emphasizing the familial bonds created by this union. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, marriage was a significant covenantal relationship that extended beyond the couple to include their families. The role of the "chathan" was not only as a husband but also as a new member of the bride's family, often involving complex social and familial responsibilities. Marriages were typically arranged, and the bridegroom's role was crucial in forming alliances and ensuring the continuation of family lineage.
