It is used in the context of division or allocation, often related to portions or shares, particularly in financial or sacrificial contexts.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, the concept of dividing goods or resources into portions was common, especially in legal and religious contexts. The division into fifths could be related to offerings, penalties, or taxes. The use of "chomesh" reflects the structured and ordered nature of Hebrew society, where specific portions were designated for various purposes, including religious offerings and restitution.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain derivation<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>belly<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>belly (4).<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> II. <font class="hebrew2">חֹ֫מֶשׁ</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>belly</b></font> (Aramaic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb033205.gif">) — <font class="hebrew2">הַחֹמֶשׁ</font> <a href="/interlinear/2_samuel/2-23.htm">2 Samuel 2:23</a> 3t.;
