[עֵז], עִזִּין see ענז Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive root in Aramaic.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Greek Number 892: ἄχυρον (áchyron) • meaning "chaff," used in similar metaphorical contexts in the New Testament to describe that which is worthless or destined for destruction. Usage: The word is used in the context of describing something that is insubstantial or worthless, akin to the chaff that is blown away by the wind. Context: The Aramaic term עוּר (ʿûr) appears in the context of biblical literature to symbolize that which is fleeting and without value. In the agricultural practices of the ancient Near East, chaff was the light, inedible part of the grain that was separated from the valuable kernels during threshing. This imagery is often employed in biblical texts to contrast the righteous with the wicked, where the wicked are likened to chaff that the wind drives away, emphasizing their lack of substance and permanence. The metaphor underscores the transient nature of those who do not follow God's ways, as opposed to the enduring nature of the righteous. The use of chaff in biblical literature serves as a powerful illustration of divine judgment and the ultimate futility of a life lived apart from God.
