This Greek term is used in the New Testament to describe acts of denial or rejection, often in the context of faith or allegiance, similar to the Hebrew concept of כָּחַשׁ (kachash) in terms of denying or disowning. Usage: The verb כָּחַשׁ (kachash) is used in various contexts within the Hebrew Bible to describe actions or states of being that involve falsehood or deceit. It can refer to lying or being untruthful, as well as failing or disappointing expectations. The term is also used to describe physical decline or wasting away. Context: The Hebrew verb כָּחַשׁ (kachash) appears in several passages throughout the Old Testament, often conveying the idea of falsehood or deceit. It is used to describe both verbal lies and actions that betray trust or truth. For instance, in Psalms 109:24, the term is used metaphorically to describe physical weakness: "My knees are weak from fasting, and my flesh grows lean without nourishment." Here, the word conveys a sense of physical decline or wasting away.
