It conveys the idea of a diligent and careful examination, often with the intent of discovering something hidden or understanding something more deeply. This term can be used in both physical and metaphorical contexts, such as searching for physical objects or examining one's heart or actions.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, searching or examining was a common practice, whether it was searching for lost items, exploring new territories, or examining one's life and actions in light of God's laws. The concept of searching is deeply embedded in the Hebrew mindset, reflecting a desire for understanding, discovery, and alignment with divine will. This aligns with the broader biblical theme of seeking God and His wisdom.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to be free<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>free (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">חָפַשׁ</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>be free</b></font> — only <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Pu`al</b></font> <em>Perfect</em>3feminine singular <font class="hebrew2">כִּי לֹא חֻמָּ֑שָׁה</font> <a href="/interlinear/leviticus/19-20.htm">Leviticus 19:20</a> (H), <em>because she was not freed</em> (a freed-woman). <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>be free <p>A primitive root; to spread loose; figuratively, to manumit -- be free. <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>חֻפָּֽשָׁה׃ חפשה׃ chupPashah ḥup·pā·šāh ḥuppāšāh<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/leviticus/19-20.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Leviticus 19:20</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/leviticus/19.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">כִּי־ לֹ֥א <b> חֻפָּֽשָׁה׃ </b> </span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/leviticus/19.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> because <span class="itali">she was not free.</span><br><a href="/kjvs/leviticus/19.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> they shall not be put to death, <span class="itali">because she was not free.</span><br><a href="/interlinear/leviticus/19-20.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> because nor <span class="itali">free</span><p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_2666.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_2666.htm">Strong's Hebrew 2666<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/chuppashah_2666.htm">ḥup·pā·šāh — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/2665.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="2665"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="2665" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/2667.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="2667"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="2667" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
